Has anyone else had allergy symptoms after brushing teeth?

Hi I like to use whitening toothpastes and last night used Oral B 3D white in vitalising fresh. It made my lips feel sore in the corners and then my lips went really swollen and felt uncomfortable. Lately I keep getting sore patches on my tongue and have geographic tongue that won't go away so I'm thinking now that this could be caused by the toothpastes I've been using.
I wondered if anyone else has had a problem like this?
If anyone had, is there a whitening toothpaste that is mild and doesn't affect your mouth.

Many years ago after using Corsadyl mouthwash several times a day as recommended by my dentist I developed awful dry and cracked skin around my lips. I moved onto Sensodyne toothpaste for a while but then that also made my skin painful so started on kids' toothpaste and this also made my skin sore, cracked and blistery.

I've used Kingfisher toothpaste (the green minty one) ever since and it's the only brand I can use. It's so hard to get, I have to shop online or at Waitrose for it. If they stopped making it I think I'd have to resort to lemon juice and soot to clean my teeth!

curly I can only use one type of sensidyne -the pack with pink on. The rest of the sensidyne range all produce the lip, mouth lining peeling thing. So.maybe the others I've had problems with have SLS in?
