What causes a swollen mouth?

There are several reasons for swollen mouth, such as neurosis, side effects caused by drugs, food allergies, etc., so it is best for patients to find the cause first and then treat it.

Unexplained swelling of the lips may be caused by angioedema. Angioedema is mainly an allergic reaction limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which can be caused by drug allergies, insect stings, desensitization injections or eating certain foods (especially eggs, shells, and nuts). It is a temporary, localized, painless subcutaneous or submucosal edema.

The main cause of the disease is type I allergic reaction caused by foreign proteins or drugs. It is generally believed that the pathogenesis of this disease is due to unstable autonomic nervous function. Don't worry about it, it will go away on its own in a couple of days.

① Quickly identify and eliminate allergens.

② Apply calamine lotion on lips to protect skin and relieve itching.

③ Use antihistamines and corticosteroids if necessary. ④ Pay attention to cases where the disease spreads to the oropharynx and causes breathing difficulties, and perform preventive tracheotomy if necessary.

The most likely cause of this disease is often an allergen, such as some pollen in the air, especially in spring or autumn, when there are more particulate matter in the air, which can easily cause swelling. Another cause is applying some cosmetics on the mouth. Because you have an allergic constitution, it can also cause the mouth to suddenly swell.
