A member asked:

Can you get swelling on gums, tongue, roof of mouth, and lips from oral allergy syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral Allergic Signs: Yes, swelling and redness of the gums, tongue or other oral structures can be a sign of allergy especially if the onset is sudden. The allergic reaction can continue on to serious respiratory or other systemic manifestations so you should seek medical care right away.
