My Lip And Cheek Have Swelled Up!?


So it goes like this, the top right side of my lip has swelled up, it has been like this since yesterday. My cheek has also started to swell too. Im worried. Two days ago, I ate something I hadn't had before some gummy sweet and I woke up with my lip swollen. I had some more of them last night, more than the other night and it has got worse. I have been taking Piriton medicine and that makes it go down, then it swells back up, just before Im due for it again. The clinic have said I should carry on with the Piriton and go to A & E if I have breathing problems. Im concerned it may be a tooth abscess as I did have toothache the other day. It is now 11:19pm and I can't have any more Piriton until 12:45am. Also I have school tomorrow and I missed 4 days last week, so I can't afford any more days off as I have exams but if it is still swelled I'll have to stay off. Any help on getting the swelling down or what it might be? The irony of the story is the sweets weren't that nice =/. Shame =[.

I look like Ive had collagen on my top lip. Oh well, saves on the needles =].

Go to the dentist ASAP,infection could kill you.

it could be an allergic reaction or mumps
