Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Lips
My husband suddenly discover his lip is swollen. I gave him Benadryl. Can I also give Prednisone. He had nothing to eat today. He was outside shoveling snow. When he came inside that was when he realize that his lip is swollen. Could it be frost bite.

Hi,
With given history,I could come to conclusion that most probably your husband may be having angioedema. It is a form of urticaria in which there is a sudden swelling of certain parts of body like lips,cheeks,genitalia... You immediately consult dermatologist. There may be some allergy. Blood investigations may be done. Antihistaminics,steroids in tappering doses..may be considered. I hope this would help you.
Thanks..
