What Causes Swollen Lip?

Hello and good morning.. yesterday evening I had noticed after waking up from a nap that my upper lip was swollen. Just for the record a few days ago I went to the doctor to lance a staph infection on my cheek. I was given oral antibiotics and that was about it. There is no pain associated with my lips being swollen, just feels akward.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

could Have you completed your antibiotic course given to you for staph infection?

If not then please complete the course and look for results.if you find the symptoms still persist then it could be an angio oedema.
For this you can consult the oral pathologist.

Hope it helps.Thanks.
