My lips are itchy and swollen. Am I allergic?
Hello doctor,
I am 24 years old. I am experiencing itchiness on my lips, and my left lip is quite swollen at this moment. This morning, when I woke up from bed, I also experience swelling inside my mouth. I suppose this is an allergy, but I am not sure what I am allergic to. To my knowledge, I am not allergic to any food, but I suppose this is because of heat. Every summer, when I perspire, I experience itchiness and swelling that usually starts at my forehead, then it goes to my ears and scalp. One time my face was swollen as someone beat me up. This itchiness bothers me, and I do not know where I am allergic at. What should I do? Please help.

What are the symptoms of sinus headache?
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 20 years old and studying in a hostel. For the last one month, she is suffering from a headache. After taking painkiller it subsides and again it stars on the next day. So after three days, I consulted an ENT doctor, after examining and taking X-ray, he diagnosed it as sinus headache and gave antibiotics and painkillers for five days. She completed the course and while using the tablets she did not have a headache. Now, again she has a headache. Kindly advise whether the headache is really from sinusitis. Why am I doubting is that she has only headache with mild nose block and no other symptoms like discharge or fever. So, my doubt is whether it is sinus headache or not and if it is due to sinusitis why is it occurring even after completing the course of treatment?
Please help.

I feel I have something stuck in my throat and chest. How should I eat?
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female and I weigh 122 pounds. I understand that I have anxiety and that I have GERD acid reflux, so I am used to the throat feeling. But today it is different and I feel I have something stuck in my throat and chest near my throat. It does make it hard for me to swallow and I have a dry cough as well. Any advice on how to eat? I am afraid to choke on my food and I have not taken food all day.
