I woke up with swollen lips last Friday morning. I believed that it was an allergic reaction from taking two different sinus medication the evening before.
However, I thought they would be fine the next day, but it's Wednesday and they haven't gotten any better. I wake up in the morning and they're crusted over, swollen to twice their size, and burning. I have used five different lip balms: Vaseline lip therapy, Carmex, Blistex medicated lip ointment, Lip Vitamins, and a prescription lip ointment called Zovirax.
I saw a doctor yesterday, but she didn't know what to tell me. She just said to stop using everything but the Vaseline and to take Benedryl. But this isn't helping. I can't kiss my fiancee, it hurts to open my mouth to eat; I can't even go five minutes without applying some kind of balm. I'm just miserable, and getting desperate. It's finals week, so that doesn't help, either.
Can anyone help me, PLEASE?
