Suggest Treatment Options For Twitching Of Lips

I have occasional twitching in my lips and mouth while talking. Generally they are severe enough that people notice. It resembles the way teeth chatter when you try to talk and it's really cold outside. Today was severe. Not one conversation was had that I didn't experience the twitch. It is on either side and sometimes feels as if my jaw goes the wrong way as well when I'm talking.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have twitching of lips can be due to trauma or infection in the branches of facial Nerve. Facial nerve is the one which supply to the muscles of face and lips is given by the facial nerve and any disorder related to it causes twitching ,numbness as well as in severe causes can cause muscle paralysis. I would suggest you to give atorvastsin and warm compresses. You should immediately consult a Neuro physician and get evaluated and a MRI or CT SCAN can help in diagnosing the exact cause of the problem and treatment can be planned accordingly. You should do facial muscle excercises along with lip in and out movement.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain lip twitching can occur when the muscles around the lips tend to contract suddenly..
It can occur due to a number of conditions like severe stress and anxiety or fear, facial nerve damage,lowering of Hypoparathyroid levels, Tourette's Syndrome, facial spasms , Parkinsonism etc..

You should consult a Neurologist and get evaluated and a through clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

As of now do warm compresses over lips by wetting a cloth in warm water and apply on lips till it cools down.
Take Multivitamin supplements..
Keep stress minimal by doing meditation and keeping engaged in activities of your choice..
Do moderate workout..
Avoid intake of tea, coffee, alcohol and smoking..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
