Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Lower Lip

Hi I was at work today. In a meeting most of my day when I left the meeting I went to my desk and answer the phone, My lower bottom lip started to swell. I thought it was my tooth until I went into the ladies room. This has never happened before. Around 10:00a I had some dried mango that was it for food today. I just iced it is there any thing else. I am taking benedryl

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is likely a reaction to something you have consumed, in this case , the mango.

You should continue the benadryl, using it as recommended.

An allergy test would be able to determine what caused your allergic reaction.

The allergen would need to be avoided.

I hope this helps
