Hello Doctor,
I woke up this morning and noticed that the inside of my upper lip is swollen and discolored on the sides. I'm not sure what caused it. Could it be an allergic reaction, an injury, or something else? What might be the cause of this?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. It sounds like you may be experiencing some swelling and discoloration in your upper lip, which could be related to various factors. Is this something that happens every day, or does it occur occasionally?
2. One possibility is that the position you sleep in could be affecting the circulation in your face, especially if your head is positioned in a way that restricts blood flow overnight. In such cases, the swelling could be temporary.
3. I would suggest trying an ice cube or a cold compress on the affected area when you wake up to reduce any swelling. If this persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to get in touch with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Thanks
