647391 tn?1275016633 What suggestions do you have for diagnosing why the allergic reactions I am having. Hives and now the swollen lips. My mouth and tongue also burned.
Avatar f tn As an example, I awake at 4am feeling something funny in my mouth, my upper lip was swollen and kinda itchy I continue sleeping and when I got up I looked myself, my lip still swollen but not itchy anymore and after 2 hours it is starting to go down.
Avatar m tn Took another benadryl which helped for about 4 hours (and knocked me out again) and the hives and swollen lip came back. Called in again and he said to switch off the Benadryl and try Loratadine. This does not seem to be controlling it so well (took it 2 hours ago). So its been about 30 hours since the last Cipro dose. If it was indeed a Cipro allergy, how long before it should go away?
Avatar f tn I had the same problem a few times last spring and summer and now it seems to be the same thing. My top lip would get swollen either on one side or the entire lip at night. It would usually be back to almost normal by afternoon the next day. It started out slowly with just minor tingling sometimes, then progressing into a lot of swelling and taking longer and longer to go down with each time it occurred. Occurrences also go more and more frequent.
Avatar f tn One month ago ( around the time that I stopped nursing my 10-month-old) I started getting random lip swelling. From there it turned into itchy hives all over my body. I got a lot of blood work done for my allergist and immunologist everything came back normal but my CU index (chronic urticaria) was slightly elevated suggesting it's autoimmune response. He tested for a large variety of autoimmune disorders. The doctor is treating my symptoms with Zantac, Zyrtec, and Singulair.
Avatar m tn this morning i woke up and my lip was greatly swollen my top lip it is. i had a few drinks last night ate pancake and sausage at the IHOP. i also ate a bowl of sliced lemons can lemons cause my top lip to blow up over night? i am a diabetic and have bp issues...do you think its my meds?..
Avatar m tn t think its contagious) But today after coming home from class I looked in the mirror and the bump/ sore thing on the corner of my bottom lip looked sorta bumpy and swollen. I applied hydrogen peroxide and it turned the sore/ bump thing white! It looked gross Then I applied rubbing alcohol to it and cleaned it out. (it sorta started bleeding a little but this probably came from me scrubbing it so hard) then I applied so carmex and blistex and am now waiting to see whats gonna happen.
Avatar n tn Although I'm not a doctor and can't make a diagnosis, your rash and swollen tongue sound more like hives or food poisoning. And there's no way HIV shows up after 12 hours. It's been known to happen in only 5 or 6 days, but not 12 hours. If you used a condom, you have nothing to worry about.
Avatar n tn For about 10 years now on and off I get a stinging sensation in part of my lip and it then swells up to twice its size for no reasons. I went to the doctors about this some years ago and they never got to the bottom of what causes it as I recorded what I ate, drank and washed with and we never came up with anything. I haven't had noting for a year or so but over the past couple of months it has been happening more often about once a week/fortnight.
Avatar n tn a.) red blotches/hives progressing to my feet (tops swollen and itchy) and the palms of my hands look like a red balloon and continue to itch so very very bad yet I am sent home. Day 4: a.) Wake up with a cough and having trouble breathing ER gives another antihistamine shot, Albuteraol inhaler for cough and observes the large red blotches covering my entire body and now my forehead and the back of my head have small lumps followed by b.
654739 tn?1224333095 hi there, i have had a very similar experience over the past year and a bit. about 5 seriously swollen lip incidents during this time. just my top lip. it turns out it was sunscreen and once i'm sure the culprit was an expensive lip plumping gloss. i still don't know the actual agent though...just for sure that it's in some products. however, in the beginning i was told it was most likely a food allergy.
Avatar n tn HS on 5th morning my lower lip looked slightly swollen and white underneath as if I had had Botox. A month later I was put on Lyrica 50 mg. HS which was really beginning to resolve the C7 radicultitis when I awoke on day 13 with both lips slightly swollen, thick, same whiteness below lower lip. That was yesterday morning. No problems with tongue, throat, etc. My lips are still the same today. My eyes feel slightly irritated, but no other symptoms except slightly swollen abdomen.
Avatar n tn I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out whats going on with me! My main symptoms involve the irritation and swelling of my lips. It is mostly the inside of my lips that get swollen and irritated. Usually it is during/after eating, but sometimes appears when I haven't eaten for hours. Occasinally they will swell so bad to where it looks like I hae huge fish lips. Sometimes the area will get itchy and tingly before swelling, other times nothing.
Avatar n tn My lips were fine the day before, however, the next morning, my lips felt different and I noticed that there were little swollen bumps on my top lip. They are not itchy or painful. I have seasonal allergies but I have no other known allergies. What could cause these little bumps?
1083155 tn?1256261696 One week later I woke up with hives everywhere, a swollen eye, lip, tounge, ear and foot. All at once. I went to the emergency room and was given benadryl. Three days later my tounge again. I went to the doc he gave me steriods and sent me to a allergist. I went to the allergist 5 days later with my eye swollen and on steriods cause the swelling would not stop. I had to have a dose of at least 20mg to get it to stop for a day.
Avatar f tn I was diagnostic with anemia like a month ago. Im really scared cause i have never in my life had hives until halloween 2008. At first i thought it was just a rash but then it started going all over my body. My ankles, knees, and elbows were really swollen. They are still kind of itchy, burn, and hurt. I went to the doctor he gave me some pills called xyzal.
Avatar f tn Those started to recede when along came a swollen lip (just on the bottom and just on the left side). An hour or so later my ankle swelled up like a baseball, then my right hand and fingers (I almost had to cut my ring off). I thought I was getting better as some of the swelling was beginning to recede again but today the bottom of my right foot (the pad area below the toes) is blown up like a balloon. With each swelling episode I have alot of pain and tightness.
966444 tn?1254100169 Ok here is what's going on, i'm 38 years old for the last two months I have been trying to quit smoking, I now have two days smoke free. Last monday I woke up covered in hives, which is really weird because I have never been allergic to anything nor have I ever had hives. I took a claritin and a benedryl and the next day they were gone. The next day i was at work speaking to a client and my upper lip swelled twice it's size. I went home and took another benedryl.
Avatar m tn In looking up side effects of Effexor as well as withdrawal effects, there is no mention of hives or swollen ankles. But someone can have an effect that no one in the studies which generally include many thousands of people.have experienced. But the fact that your hives and swollen ankle have not gone away sounds highly irregular. I've gotten hives from medications in the past, which went away fairly quickly after stopping the medication.
Avatar f tn , which was supposedly related to having taken diclofenac (I’m allergic to all pain killers). I had hives and urticaria in my body and swelling of my lips and throat also. I was even hospitalized two days so they could get the swelling down with steroids.
Avatar n tn At first I started to get hives and then an hour later my lips got bright red and swollen. Thursday and Friday they looked the same. My mom had me put hydrocortisone cream on them thursday, but that did nothing. So I called my dr. on Thursday and she said there was nothing she could do for me but that I should keep taking the benedryl, so I did. Saturday, I still hadn't healed and wasn't feeling well so I went to the drug store to ask a pharmacist what to do.
Avatar f tn The surgeon sent her home with oxycodone for pain management. She only took it 3 days because she developed hives and swollen lips. We attributed this to an oxycodone reaction. However, it is now 3 months later, and the hives have not subsided. They are manageable with prednisone and other antihistamines.
Avatar m tn I'm 16 and I've been dealing with this same thing for 7 or 8 years now. Most of the time it happens when I'm sleeping and I'll wake up with a swollen lip or a swollen eye. I used to go to the doctors all the time and they had done many different tests to figure out what was wrong with me but they never had a clue. They prescribed different medications but they never worked. I have missed so much school and other activities just because I don't want people to see me like this.
Avatar f tn About two weeks after that I started to get hives. Now instead of hives I get like red marks on my skin. The hives literally itch and burn so bad. Zyrtec helps. The hives/welts/marks come and within minutes they are gone. This has been happening for two months now. Would hiv rash do this? I have been to both my doctor and dermatologist who have both said it is chronic hives. Could it really be chronic hives or does this sound like std? Please help. I'm scared.
Avatar n tn I saw my physiatrist today and we discussed the Lyrica, Benadryl, and the appearance of my lower lip. Since the lip has remained the same for 7 days, he feels it is okay to continue with both drugs, especially since I got such great nerve pain relief days 12-16 the first time around with the Lyrica. I will, of course, be alert for any changes. I may also get one of the drugs you listed in your post to have in the house in case the Benadryl doesn't work.
Avatar n tn What could cause a sudden attack of hives with stomach pain and diarreah? I had never had anything like this before, but yesterday about 30 minutes after breakfast I broke out in hives on my head and face, neck, underarms, under breasts, and lower abdomen. I had severe cramps that were below my navel and ran across both sides and lower back with more pain on the left side than right. I took benadryl for the hives and layed down in a fetal position until the pain passed.
Avatar f tn I realize that stress can cause other things to happen to your body...and i felt that mabey this is what brought on the Hives. After seeing an Allergist/Immune specialist, he told that basically, he believes my Hives are from an Auto Immune Disorder, possible Graves in the future. He baically said he came to this conclusion with my TPO being at 1000. he also recommended that I visit an Endrocronologist. Let me back up for a moment to go back to when i started back taking the lexapro.
Avatar f tn I have been suffering from hives for 6 months. Right now I am out of town on business and have hives on arms, inner thighs, and hands. These are the big ones that don't itch as much as they hurt. I have taken Benadryl and Prilosec which is a histamine 2 antagonist. I have 10 mg Prednisone tabs with me but the directions are to take 40 mg for angioedema and gradually decrease dosage.
