Brief Answer:
Allergy/viral/bacterial infection to rule out...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
1. A photo of your lips, and eyes is needed to evaluate the edema myself.
2. From what you are reporting, I can say as following:
- swollen lips might be a sign of possible allergic reaction to any medication you might have started recently
- the pain in your right ear is a sign of possible otitis (inflammation/infection of the ear) due to any viral or bacterial infection. A further examination by ENT specialist will determine it for definite.
- with regards to puffy eyes, they might be related to: allergic reaction or possible infection of eyes or even problems with kidneys. A further urine analysis, kidney function test and abdominal ultrasound are advised to determine the right cause.
3. I need to also know what medications have you tried so far? Any other symptom?
