Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Lip swelling.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the lip swelling? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is the swelling localized or generalized? - If generalized may suggest allergic urticaria or angioneurotic edema.
- Have you got swelling anywhere else on the body?
- History of trauma/ injury to the lips? - may suggest traumatic swelling, mucocele cyst or pyogenic granuloma.
- Past history of cold sores (Herpes simples type 1 lesions) on the lips? - may indicate a cold sore as the cause of the lip swelling.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Lip swelling) may include:
- Lip pain? - Painful swelling of the lip is more likely to be herpes zoster (shingles), herpes simplex labialis (cold sore), pyoderma granulosa, insect bites, alveolar abscess and trauma. Painless swelling is more likely to be syphilis, allergic urticaria, angioneurotic edema, contact dermatitis, lip cancer, myxedema and cretinism.
- Rash? - would suggest herpes zoster (shingles) especially if the rash was unilateral or urticaria if the rash was hive- like.
- Tooth pain? - may suggest tooth socket (alveolar) abscess.
- Symptoms of herpes simplex labialis (cold sores)? - e.g. prodrome of tingling, itching or burning sensation on the lips which usually precede any visible skin changes by 24 hrs. Prodrome is followed by development of fluid filled vesicles which erode to become ulcers on the lips.
- Symptoms of mucocele cysts? - e.g. painless translucent blister-like swelling on the lips or in the oral cavity that is easily ruptured and then drains a clear fluid and then refills.
