Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Lips After Waking Up

The last few weeks I ve had occasional swelling of lips, especially when I awake, and they are very dry around the outline of my lips. Tried all kinds of moisturing products - nothing works. What could be causing this. I wash my bedding in hypoallergenic detergent.

thank you and pleased to answer you
Causes of swollen lips on Morning
The causes are very varied and of different types
Allergy is the most implicated, allergy of contact with a product or allergy following the consumption of a product.
Injuries
Side effects of certain drugs
Allergic reactions to excessive heat or cold
Viral infections (herpes)
Nutritional deficiencies
Improper alignment of teeth
Different therapeutic modalities:
Applying ice cubes wrapped in a towel is more effective regardless of the cause of the swelling.
Hot compresses reduce the accumulation of blood in the inflamed area.
Aloe vera gel reduces swelling.
Tea bag application is also effective.
Drinking plenty of fluid helps moisturize the lips and keep it from drying.
A balanced and healthy diet, rich in vitamins B and C to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
In case of allergy, it is necessary to determine the cause and avoid it later, and to treat with antihistamine medicines (tablets and creams)
Drink a sufficient amount of water to keep the lips hydrated.
may this help you and best wishes.
