3. Swollen Lips
Swelling of the lips is a very common symptom of allergies, though is usually only one you will experience if and when the symptoms of the allergy are severe. It’s one symptom commonly used by Hollywood for comedic effect when a character has an allergic reaction – but in reality there’s nothing funny about it. You should take it very seriously if this symptom occurs – the next symptoms that occur could be the closing up of the throat and you are in serious physical danger.
If you find that your lips become swollen and your mouth starts to itch, then you should seek immediate medical attention instead of trying to treat the condition yourself – especially if you have never experienced an allergy attack like this before. This is where the condition has the potential to land you in hospital.
Of course, swelling of the lips is also commonly associated with food allergies, so tell your doctor if you suspect that it was anything you drank or ate that might have triggered your allergy attack.
