Weird inner cheek swelling?
Does anyone here get weird swelling and numbness/tingling inside your lips and cheeks? I thought it was just a food allergy at first but then realized it wasn’t being triggered by food at all.
It started when I thought I had food stuck up between my upper gums and upper cheek, so I went in with floss and a toothbrush to the area, but then within minutes that inner mucosal area started to swell and get numb (which only made the sensation of smth being stuck there worse). At one point it felt like I’d gotten a lidocaine shot there but still felt sore. Normally ends in swelling in just the inside of my upper lips too, and has happened multiple days in a row now.
It resolved once after I took Benadryl and another time when I just left it alone for an hour or two.
Just curious if anyone has experienced anything like this and if it’s worth even asking my doctors? I’m picturing them just brushing it off as weird “inflammation” stuff. Weird swelling is such an annoying pain in the a** sometimes.
