Dr. Janet Roberto answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Throbbing lip: The sensation of "throbbing on lip" for 4 days off and on could be for several reasons. It is possible you may be starting the manifestation of herpes simplex.. Or could be stress induced or nothing at all. I recommend watchful waiting and a visit to HC provider if anything changes
