When I eat some fruits[ like melons, mangos]and some vegtables, the inside of my mouth gets itchy&swells. Why?

It is the skin or rind of these fruits and vegetables.  They harbor oils in them that some people are sensitive to.  If you are sensitive to Poison Oak, Poison Ivy and Sumac, it is likely that it is a sensitivy to exotic fruits and vegetables that is causing this problem.  The pastor of my church had a son with this sensitivity.  He could not eat mangos and most melons because the sensitivy was so bad that it would cause his lips and mouth to swell and get infected.

See your doctor!  You could be reacting to something you eat.  \n"Or" you could have an internal infection in one of your organs, one of your organs could be compromised!\n\nGO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!

This happens to me too if I eat a lot of (fresh) pineapple and particularly chew on the core.\n\nI did some research at the time that it happened to me first and discovered that it was the acid in the pineapple that was doing it.\n\nNot too harmful I don't think (though I wouldn't do it daily).\nEverything in moderation.  Numb tongue is probably a sign of overdoing it a bit.\n:)

Certain foods, like orange-juice, cause the body to produce a lot of mucus.  Asthma causes a restriction in the airways of the lung.  So when you eat a problem food, it makes it even harder to clear your airway.

Try altering your diet to see what foods are triggering your allergies.  many doctors cannot tell you any more than yours already have.  Try beeswax therapy.

** Aquagenic urticaria -- hives that are triggered by contact with sweat or with water. In these people, exercise itself is not a trigger, and they can drink water without a problem. ** \n** This is from Dr. Greene's site... \n\n\nHives Caused by Ingestion or Inhalation\n\nApproximately 70% of the time, what causes a case of hives cannot be determined. This list covers many of the common causes of hives, but is not exhaustive. These are things that you may want to consider cutting out if you have hives.\n\nIngestion or Inhalation\nWhen the source of hives can be determined, most cases are caused by ingestion of a substance. Drugs can suddenly cause hives even if the person has been taking them for years. Many foods or food additives can also cause hives suddenly, even in small amounts. I am including inhaled allergens under ingestion because these are foreign substances that are taken into the body.\n\nDrugs\n\n    * Penicillin\n    * Aspirin\n    * Sulfa antibiotics\n    * Morphine\n    * Codeine\n    * Polymyxin\n    * Dextran\n    * Curare\n    * Quinine\n    * Diuretics \n\nFoods\n\n    * Fish\n    * Shellfish\n    * Nuts\n    * Eggs\n    * Chocolate\n    * Strawberries\n    * Tomatoes\n    * Pork\n    * Cow's milk\n    * Cheese\n    * Wheat\n    * Yeast\n    * Citrus fruits \n\nFood Additives\n\n    * Salicylates\n    * Tartrazine (a dye)\n    * Benzoate\n    * Penicillin\n    * Sulfites \n\nInhaled Allergens\n\n    * Pollen\n    * Mold Spores\n    * Animal dander\n    * House dust \n\nGood Luck, Hives are a hassle, they few times I had them I took a bath with the Oatmeal Aveeno Bath.\n\n********************************************************************\n\nHow to Treat Hives Naturally\n\n\n\nHives are red blotchy swellings on the skin, which are usually the result of an allergic reaction. They are often very itchy and can be painful or cause a burning sensation.\n \nSteps:\n1.  Put cool, wet compresses on red areas to soothe itching.\n \n2.  Take a bath in oatmeal if hives cover a large area.\n \n3.  Add cornstarch to your regular bath.\n \n4.  Apply aloe vera gel to soothe skin and reduce discomfort.\n \n5.  Take acidophilus to help reduce an allergic reaction.\n \n6.  Take quercetin to help relieve inflammation and allergic reactions.\n \n7.  Supplement with 1,000mg vitamin C a day to help your immune system respond to allergens.\n \n8.  Use the herbs alfalfa, yellow dock, echinacea, ginseng, licorice and nettles.\n \n9.  Investigate the cause of the hives. Medications, insect bites or stings, certain foods and food additives, and certain plants are common culprits.\n \n10.  Avoid the substance that caused your hives.\n \n11.  Use an antihistamine for temporary relief of symptoms, particularly if hives are very severe or if overall allergic reaction is severe.\n \n \nWarnings:\nHives can be part of a very serious, even life threatening, allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. If you have an outbreak of hives accompanied by difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, chest pain, coughing or swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, seek immediate emergency assistance.\n \nIf symptoms persist or if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, we recommend you contact a physician. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.\n \nTips from eHow Users:\nAveeno colloidal oatmeal bath by eHow Friend\nInstead of bathing in it, I mix it with a cup of water until it is a gooey, thick substance and put it on my hives. I find that this works much better than diluting it and bathing in it.\n \n  \nThanks.

when eating something hot you're had turns red, mouth is hot and kind of hurts. when eating something cold, you feel you can breath, refreshing etc. this is caused by chemicals in the foods that bind with your mouth and nose, i looked it up for a better explanation: \n\nHOT: the spices that we normally associate with "hot" food, such as peppers or curry, activate the warm receptors. piperine is the active component of white and black pepper (piper nigrum) and is presumably of use to the plant because of its insecticidal properties. capsaicin (pronounced cap-say-shin) is the substance responsible for the spiciness associated with members of the genus capsicum, which includes most of the red and green peppers used in mexican, south american, cajun, and some asian foods. ginger is another "hot" spice common to asian cuisine, and the substance responsible for its pungency is zingerone. the structures of these three substances are remarkably similar. each contains an aromatic ring with two ortho oxygen atoms (similar to vanillin), either in an ether-phenol combination, as in the case of capsaicin and zingerone, or as an acetal, as found in piperine. bonded to the ring at position is a long chain bearing a carbonyl group. the carbonyl group is located in the same position for capsaicin and zingerone- although the latter is a ketone, whereas capsaicin is an amide. the carbonyl is located further down the chain in piperine, which, like capsaicin, is an amide. these three compounds are listed by the merck index as ranging from sparingly soluble to virtually insoluble in water, as anyone who has failed to achieve comfort by drinking cold water to relieve the burning sensation from spicy foods can attest. all three are soluble in organic solvents, and their oil solubility accounts for why sour crème is a popular accompaniment to hot foods.\n\nCOLD: a "cool" sensation results from the presence of a substance that allows cool receptors to be activated outside their normal temperature range in the warm enviornment of the mouth. menthol and carvone, terpenes with similar skeletal structures, can cause this effect. menthol can be extracted from different mint plants and can also be synthesized from turpentine. it is an optically active substance having three chiral carbons. the two enantiomers of carvone are often mentioned in organic chemistry classes to illustrate the chirality of olfactory receptors. R-(-)-carvone is the principal component in oil of spearmint; its enantiomer, S-(+)-carvone, is responsible for the flavor of caraway oil. it is significant that we do not associate the flavor of carawy with a cooling effect, indicating that the temperature-oriented neural receptors that respond to these substances must also have chirality.

You may have an irritated blatter. Drinking coffee and tea can do this , I get it when I drink too much coffee or tea and not enough water.. I did not have infection or any disease. You should get checked out by Dr. I drink Cranberry juice ans stay off the caffine.

Have you talked to your doctors? If you have liver problem you may want to cut down your cigarettes and alchohol. No fried food. If you cannot eat fresh fruits, how about cooked or steamed vegetables? One of the causes of mouth ulcers could be vitamin B2 deficiency. But there are other causes, too. Check with your doctor.  Coconut oil is not good. Olive oil is better. Egg white is OK. Egg yolk is for babies and children. Cream milk is not good.

Sounds like you have a virus if its just been recently.  If this occurs often maybe even food poisoning or something you are eating.  You should see a doc if it has occured often

it could just be an acid bump. you get them from eating too many acidic foods. have you eaten a lot of fruit lately? Or salt, that does it too. I feel for you, if it is an acid bump it usually hurts, especially when you bite it!

It sounds like an allergic reaction to something you've eaten or put on your lips. This happens to my sister whenever she eats anything with nuts inside. It started in adulthood for her, she used to eat them fine before. Keep track of when this happens and write it down what you've eaten or done. Good luck!

Skin irritation and itching can come from a variety of problems. Allergies to foods are common but are usually easy to diagnose after it occurs after eating the same food or same ingredient in a food. The only bad thing is the reaction usually gets worse ease time you are exposed.  Contact allergies can come from detergents, perfumes or anything else that contacts your skin. PSoriasis is a skin condition that causes itching and severe dryness and flaking of the skin but not welts. Last but not least, I  have seen people break out in hives and itching dwhen they get really nervous.  The most important thing to know is when to seek treatment.  Benadryl may provide the answer, but if the you have a true anaphylactic (allergic) reaction involing your airway you could be minutes from death if not treated appropriately.

Allergies...I for one get blisters instantaneously when my hands come in contact with pickles or dill. Also a  skin condition known as exzema will also cause little blisters to rise to surface and itch from skin being exposed to elements that dry the skin out or an allergy worked up to something you may be handling on a daily basis.

Dear bobby b,\n\nI agree with itchy, it could be a sign of poor blood circulation.\n\nIf you're diabetic - or you are in a risk to be - consult a doctor.\n\nConsider using gingko biloba. The extract from this tree is supposed to get the blood flow in our body's extremities: arms and hands, legs and feet, and head.

I get this sometimes, but it's linked to my sinuses.\nI have allergies, and if they get bad, I'll get the aching in my jaw.\n\nNot a cavity if it's not around teeth.

Hives can be caused by nerves but it sounds more like an allergic reaction to me. If your face or throat swells, or if you have difficultly breathing go to the ER ASAP. Otherwise go to your doctor as soon as you can and take an antihistamine until you can get there (that'll have for allergies or nervous breakouts.)
