Yes you can, but: Lip swelling, although bothersome, isn't the only concern, have you experienced any hoarseness, fainting, shortness of breath with that condition?what was the trigger?Or was is spontaneous?Was your tongue and lids swollen too? Is it itching? And whether you have hives?Antihistamines and steroids may help after few hours,epinephrine would.be the 1st choice,or maybe it's something else,see an allergist
