What Is The Cause Of Puffed Lower Lip Without Any Teeth?

My husband has no teeth because he is getting ready to get dentures. He has been toothless for a couple months now. I just recently noticed that his lower lip is puffed out and hanging down frequently. Could this be caused by no teeth? or maybe a symptom of something worse like stroke? He is a 64 year old.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Your problem does not seem related to anything dental.The fact that you are having reactions on other parts of your body points directly to the fact that you are having an allergic reaction to something. Benadryl 25 to 50mg can take away the symptoms but it may be a good idea to get your doctor to prescribe in case any of these symptoms ever become severe .
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
