Could Swelling Of Bottom Lip After Stents Put In Heart Be Due To Intake Of New Medication?
Hi I am with my grandfather, age 70, who had a heart attack two weeks ago. He had three stents put in and is in otherwise good shape. His bottom lip has suddenly swelled on the left side, Is this something I should worry about? He is taking new medications, could it be allergic? He has been on the meds almost two weeks now.
