Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I had seen your medical condition description and understood your true concerns. Lip is a very sensitive area which is fully merged with blood vessels and nerves. So we should not neglect. Moreover there is nasal congestion, sneezing and cough. One of the major thing we have to consider is throat pain which will guide us to check for infection. Respiratory tract infection can spread to all parts. Pain and numbness may be due to inflammation of nerves supplying lips due to infection. We have to confirm the type of infection by following investigations: 1. Complete blood picture 2. X-RAY PARANASAL SINUSES 3. nerve conduction tests 4. blood culture Probably it may not be severe, may not be emergency, but better not to take risk in this type of situations and go for above investigations. For immediate relief 1.you can take any anti-inflammatory drug 2. apply pain killer ointment 3. after getting reports start antibiotic 4. multi vitamin tablets You can come back to us with your investigation reports so that we can guide you with better way of treatment. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Take Care! Regards, Dr. VAMSI KRISHNA CHITTIMOJU,
