Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My bottom right lip began to swell yesterday. Today it is more than 3x it's normal size & the small clear-white blisters have turned a single yellowish tinged area smaller than my pinkie nail- it isn't raised but remains beneath the surface. I've experienced little to no pain only a slight discomfort with the swelling. It's gotten to the point where it has become cumbersome & the area beneath my jaw has become tender to the touch.
Thanks for posting your query to HCM. After going through your history, you need to undergo a proper visual examination and radiographic also if needed. This might be due to spread of infection from an adjacent tooth or gum area. I would suggest you to visit a dentist for proper examination and correct treatment. Meanwhile, you can start an antibiotic course of Amoxicillin 500 mg 2 times a day for 3 days. Hope my answer will help you. Regards Dr. Himesh
