What are symptoms of food allergies?
My lips have been extremely dry and chapped for the last week. They have often felt raw and dry when I wake up even if I put vasoline on at night. This morning they were swollen. I have been using the medicated chapstick and I thought it was working until this morning. Is this is a symptom of a food allergy? Should I see a doctor?



either its a reaction to the medicine or u may have a food allergy but if u had a food allergy your throat would swell upand have trouble breathing.so in that case see a doctor.if not sure stay away from seafood and nuts to be safe.and keep ur lips moist.

It could be a reaction. Call your doctor about it. Whenever I’d eat bananas my tongue would swell. Since I stopped eating them I don’t have that problem anymore. Good luck!

This could also be a combination of cold, dry winter weather and lack of vitamins.
