A member asked:
Will benadryl (diphenhydramine) help with swelling of the lips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If due to allergy: yes, it would help, but if otherwise, like infection or trauma it won't, isolated lip swelling due to allergy only is kind of rare, please see your doctor if this is a recurring problem
