What Causes Recurring Swelling Of Bottom Lip?
Sometimes my bottom lip swells up usually in the morning. I will take a Claritin or Benadryl. Usually it goes down In a couple of days. I have consulted a Allergy doctor about this problem, it keeps on doing the same thing. I have been allergy tested as well.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The recurring swelling over the lip can be because of the allergic reaction or it can be because of the trauma to lip by teeth resulting in mucocele. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a allergic reaction, you can take antihistamine. If it is a mucocele, it can be treated surgically.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
