Swollen lips from flu or just an allergy?
Can u get swollen lips from the flu, I'm just wondering cause they do feel bigger and when I play my trumpet my mouthpiece feels smaller than normal and I had the flu but it's under control, had a cough and my lips feel more bigger than normal, I can't tell if its from a simPle allergy or it's a post-symptom.

The temperature or the weather can cause the lips to swell, and of course an allergic reaction is a common cause. Sometimes medications can cause the swelling so if you took medications for the flu they might be contributing to it.

Swelling of your lips may occur as part of an allergic reaction. It may last for a few minutes to hours; sometimes even for days. For some people, the swelling is a process which occurs on and off throughout the year. Sometimes, it is just one lip which is swollen and the other lip may remain completely unaffected. If the swelling is not too big, it is usually not associated with pain. But, sometimes when the swelling becomes too big, pain is felt and is usually followed by chapped or cracked skin of the lips after the swelling subsides.
Some people have noted swelling of the lips after eating certain food. Citrus fruits, eggs, milk, tomatoes, salt and apples have all been blamed for the reaction. Some others have noted swelling after using certain lipsticks, lip moisturizers, foundation and other cosmetics. Certain drugs can also cause swelling of your lips.
