Lips Are Burning. 11 Days Ago They Became Swollen For
Question: Lips are burning. 11 days ago they became swollen for a few hours then returned to normal. Ever since then, they burn all day. If I eat anything acidic or spicy it's way worse. They look completely normal. Don't appear discolored or chapped. I didn't eat anything unusual and no bug bites I've seen.
Brief Answer:
May be due gastritis. Follow up with a bit more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to gastritis.
For that you can take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg once a day and syp. Mucaine gel 2 teaspoon three times a day after consultation. Still kindly follow up with a bit more information.
Please let me know do you have fever, mouth ulcer, dry mouth, numbness or tingling sensation?
Do you have allergy to any food or medication?
In that case you may require blood investigations including complete hemogram, thyroid profile, vitamin levels after detailed medical examination and physician's opinion. As treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Along with that avoid hot and spicy foods. Keep your self hydrated. Maintain proper dental hygiene. Avoid tobacco if you have it. Take balanced diet. Avoid allergic foods and harsh cosmetic products.
Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further... Thank you.
Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
