Patient's question:
Yesterday, after going out and coming back home, my older daughter, who was previously fine, suddenly had swelling at the corner of her upper lip. I don't know what caused it. When I took her to the village health clinic, the doctor said it was an allergic reaction caused by a weak constitution. They gave her an injection and prescribed two packs of homemade deer tail powder.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment should first avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, discontinue or stop consuming suspected drugs or foods, avoid dry, high-temperature windy environments, and break bad habits like licking lips. This can also prevent recurrence. You can use 0.1% Linocar solution or 1/5000 Furacilin solution to wet the gauze and apply it to the affected area. Apply it three times a day, each time for 20-30 minutes. You can also use 3% saline or 3% boric acid solution to wet the area and keep the wound clean. For small areas of erosion, a mixture of prednisolone may be injected into the base. For larger areas, short-term oral prednisone can be used, and antibiotics may be added if necessary. Oral chloroquine (0.25G daily) can be taken, with the dose reduced after one week. Monitor for any toxic side effects. Helium-neon laser local irradiation can also be used for the treatment of cheilitis.
