A member asked:

I had lip swelling and discoloration , i noticed it when i woke uo this morning i haven't kissed anyone recently or shared a drink recently, help!

Lip swelling: You need to determine the cause, it can be an allergic reaction to a food or drug, a topical allergic reaction, a manfestation of a hereditary disease or angioedema. See an allergist and find out the cause. Oral steroids usually help with the swelling.
