Yesterday out of nowhere my upper lip swelled up really badly. i went to the doctor and they prescribed prednisone. it is still swollen. what do i do?

Swollen lip: Prednisone should help. The question is what caused it? On any medication? A certain food? You can take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) also.

Angioedema: This is angioedema and is an allergic type of reaction. It will resolve. Try an antihistamine.
