It starts out kind of feeling tingly and then I get a noticible swelling on my mouth/lip area. Any ideas what this is or what could be causing it. this is the 3rd time in 2 weeks it's happened.

Answer 1

I had a big allergic reaction a couple of weeks ago and am still getting hives time to time. In the ER I was told swollen lips, hives and rash are from food or anything ingested. I went on a series of meds but I still don't know what caused it. You gotta go to an allergist and keep a food/drink diary maybe you can narrow down what causes the reaction. But don't try to test yourself, because you could have a severe reaction and end up in the ER.

Answer 2

Have you perhaps, sprayed anything in your bedroom recently, that might be on your pillow...causing an allergic reaction? Have you changed detergent or fabric softener?

I'm asking because a few years ago, we had a flea problem and I bombed my apartment. I aired it out and thought everything was fine until I took a nap on the couch a few hours later. When I woke up, the inside of my cheek and my lip were swollen.

Two weeks later, I bombed again (you're supposed to do it twice) and this time, I woke up the next morning with the same problem after rolling over in the night, and resting my head on a throw pillow I had on the bed.

Answer 3

Is there a chance that you've bitten yourself there?

If not, and if there are no old injuries in the area, see a doctor.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Have you been eating shell fish? If you are, then that's how the allergic reaction is... Otherwise, I have no idea.

Answer 5

Are you having an allergic reaction to something? Food or drink? or maybe a lotion or something?

sounds like a bug bite
