What Causes Tightness Of Left Upper Lip Spreading Across Face?

Yesterday morning my left upper lip felt tight. It got more swollen and spread to the whole side of my face up to my eye within an hour. A little tingly. I went to a Health Stop right away and the dr considered a lot of things, but I really had no other symptoms. He prescribed prednisone and cipro thinking an infection the likely cause. 24 hours later swelling down by at least half, but still noticible. Called dr as requested, he thinks I should keep on the meds and call to check in tomorrow. I did have ten minutes of left side neck pain last night. I'm overweight, have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type two diabetes. I take oral meds for diabetes and hbp. A nurse friend thinks a CT scan is in order. ER or not?
