What Causes Swollen Lip While Having Bell S Palsy?

My husband s lip is swollen, but he didn t eat anything out of the ordinary nor did he get stung or bit by an insect. The only thing that he has near the swelling site is a bump (similar to a pimple). He s said it s been bothering him for a couple of days but when he woke up, he had a really fat lip. We re not sure what it is, but he did have Bell s Palsy last year. Do you think that could be a related symptom? Would it be wise to go to the ER?

Hi..

In case if there is a bump similar to a pimple over the lip then it can be probably an infection that can cause spread of infection leading to inflammation and swelling..

So the first thing that you need to do is to consult an Emergency room or a Physician and get him checked..
A clinical examination has to be done to rule out what exactly it is..

In case if there is infection then a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicine can be advised followed by application of antiseptic ointment over it.
Do cool compresses over the swelling..

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

Regards,
