What is the reason for lips to be swollen frequently

In life, some people say that their lips are often swollen, which confuses them. They have tried many methods, but cannot effectively treat the disease. It may be because people are not clear about the reasons why their lips become swollen, and blindly use some medications, which are not only useless, but may even worsen the disease. So the prerequisite is to understand the reasons behind it. Today I will tell you why your lips are often swollen.

Chronic cheilitis, also known as chronic nonspecific cheilitis, is a chronic, nonspecific, inflammatory lesion of the lips. The course of the disease is prolonged and recurrent.

Guidance: The cause of chronic cheilitis is not very clear. It may be related to cold and dry seasons, tobacco and alcohol, overheated food, lip licking, lip biting and other bad habits. Sometimes it is also related to mental factors, such as irritability, anxiety, anger, etc. Patients generally have no systemic illness.

The swollen lips may be caused by allergies. I suggest you take oral medications such as promethazine or Claritin, and only add hormones in severe cases. Medication is only a temporary control. In addition, you must pay attention to stay away from allergens, that is, all factors that make your condition worse.

In addition, you can find out whether there are any factors that may cause allergies in your home, such as food, paint, renovation, clothing, etc. In addition, fish, shrimp, crab, animal feathers, pollen, mushrooms, nettles, medicines, sunlight, bacteria, parasites, etc. may also cause allergies. Be sure to remove the allergic factors or avoid contact as much as possible. This is the only way to control it fundamentally. Or you can go for an allergen test. After finding out, avoid contact with the allergens to control it fundamentally.

Unexplained swelling of the lips may be caused by angioedema. Angioedema is mainly an allergic reaction limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissue and 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. Suggestions: Treatment principles;

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 air pressure in the cabin is always changing when the plane ascends and descends, so although people sitting inside cannot feel it, the internal reaction of the body is bumping between the plateau and the plain (the reason why you can feel it when you reach the plateau is mainly due to lack of oxygen after exercise, so you won’t feel it if you don’t exercise on the plane). Therefore, just like some people's altitude sickness, their lips will become red, swollen or even purple.
