My lips gets swollen. First the upper lip and after that goes down the lower lip start. Now my cheeks right next to my lips are swollen slightly. Have been to doctors and they gave me medication, but can I do any test to check what I am allegic to?

You should post this question on CyberDoc’s forum. There are several possible causes, but it certainly could be due to an allergy, possibly to a food, or to a chemical in products like toothpaste or lip balm. Allergy testing needs to be done in a doctor’s office, but you can help find the trigger by keeping a journal of when you get this symptom and any likely causes.
