What could cause my upper lip to remain swollen for three days despite using allergy medications and steroid creams, and could this be a sign of a serious condition?
This persistent swelling might be a deeper type of reaction called angioedema, which often doesn't respond to standard allergy medications or topical steroids. It can be triggered by certain prescription medications, infections, or non-allergic factors. While it is usually not dangerous, it is important to have a doctor evaluate it to find the exact cause. Please seek immediate medical care if you experience any difficulty breathing, swallowing, or tightness in your throat. Otherwise, a regular doctor's visit will help get you the right treatment.
