A member asked:

I woke up with a really swollen upper lip.there seems to be a small white line in the middle(not like a thrush).what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swollen lip: Swelling of the lip, without a history of trauma, can be caused by a kind of hive, called angioedema. Some times there swelling and hives elsewhere. It can be treated with oral antihistamines, like Claritin and/or Benadryl (diphenhydramine).
