Can An Allergic Reaction To Red Dye, Oysters Or Lisinopril BP Medicine Lead To Swollen Lips?
I had an allergic reaction yesterday to something. I am trying to pinpoint what it may have been. The ER Dr thinks it may have been my lisinopril blood pressure meds. I started thinking that I ate some oysters before Christmas ( a couple of times but not many) and was trying to find out if I could have been them My lips were swollen extremely big but my tongue and throat were not. Also I have been told today that red dye could cause it as well and I had a slice of red velvet cake about an hour before.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem the chances of this reaction due to the medicine is very less, this could be a hypersensitivity reaction some time become difficult to find it out, better way is to treat the symptoms first, and for that you have to take the long acting anti histamine of second generation "Livocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, have nice day.
