Hello Doctor,

 

My bottom lip has become extremely swollen and painful, and it looks like there’s some pus. The swelling has developed quickly over the past few hours. What should I do?

 

Answered by Dr. Prosper Atekey

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

This could be a reaction to food or medication. It is important to see an immunologist or a general practitioner for a proper assessment and treatment. Additionally, try to recall what you last ate or any medications you are currently taking, as this will help identify any potential allergens causing the reaction.

 

Thanks
