Hi, thanks for your response. The only other symptom I can think of is what I have been told is a Ganglion on my finger which I also had when I was in my early to mid teens probably around the same time of the swelling but this time the ganglion is bigger and I notice and feel it more. I am also going through a bit of a bad time as my sister has been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer and I am abviously very worried about her, so didn't know if worry/stress has brought it on again?
Hi thanks for your response, no it can be the bottom lip that swells as well.
Hi,
Lip swelling could be due to hives, angioedema, eczema, cheilitis, herpes stomatitis, or myxedema. Are there other signs or symptoms present? In particular, angioedema like hives, may be caused by an allergic reaction. Histamine and other chemicals are released into the bloodstream and causes symptoms such as of swelling, welts that usually occur around the eyes and lips. They may also be found on the hands, feet, and throat. Associated symptoms may include: abdominal cramping, beathing difficulty, sollen eyes and mouth, or sen lining of the eyes.Diagnosis is through physical examination and rrely, allergy testing. Mild symptoms may not need treatment. Cool compresses or soaks can provide pain relief. Medications used to treat angioedema include: atihistamines or ati-inflammatory medicines. It is important to note that difficulty of breathing warrants an immediate medical attention.
If this still persists, it would be best to have it evaluated further buy your doctor for proper management and to rule out other causes. Take care and keep us posted.
Sounds like you might have Angioedema. Is it only your top lip that swells?
