What Causes Swelling And Tingling Sensation In The Lip After Eating Food?

Hi I am a female 40 years old experiencing what I thought was an allergic reaction then thought maybe it was herpes now not sure.....On Tuesday just after eating lunch my top lip began to tingle and swell. No apparent bumps or cold sores were visible. Since then I started taking Valcyclovair as I have had cold sores in the past. My top lip is swollen double the size of my bottom and the skin on my top lip all the way to my nose is oosing a clear fluid. Skin is irritated and raw not sure what it could be any suggestions?

It looks like an allergic reaction to whatever you are that day. visit the ER. You might want to have a shot of Hydrocortisone. The symptoms should come down. Pay attention to the ingredients of that dish and avoid it in future.
