What Causes Fever And Swelling On The Lower Lip Of A Child?

My 9 year old daughter has had a mild cold/cough for several days. She has gotten worse in the last couple days. She s had a fever most of the day and her bottom lip has been getting more and more swollen this afternoon. It s quite swollen and numb now. Any ideas what this could be?

Hi,

As per your query, your child has a fever and swelling on the lower lip which could be due to angioedema and severe allergic reaction to an allergen or sometimes side effects of certain medications can also cause such symptoms. It could be due to dehydration and stress as well.

I would suggest you apply lip balm on it. You should take a combination of levocetirizine or Benadryl along with Ibuprofen if it is painful. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after a thorough examination. Take folic acid with vitamin B complex supplement. Avoid spicy and hot food. You should give cold compresses to lips 2-3 times a day. Also, apply cold compresses on the lips.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
