Swollen Lip

I've woken up this morning with half of my upper lip swollen and it's tingling and I look hideous :(

Searching around the net, the cheap ways of dealing with this, is ice and a tea bag!

Anybody with any experience of these things working?

Thanks (or the way i'm speaking right now, Thnks :o )

    My advice is see a dentist because it could be any number of things and management is dependent on having a diagnosis

    I saw a dentist yesterday about something on the other side of my mouth.

    I have new antibiotics and a new toothpaste. I did think it might be one of those things.

    Could easily be, but safest to get back and have it looked at.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
