Hi...
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it seems that you have got an allergic reaction to the medicines given to you for Impetigo and it is leading to Allergic Angioedema of lip and nose...

You should immediately consult your treating physician and get evaluated and he can change the medicine or reduce its dose to relieve the symptoms..
Anti allergics like Benadryl or levocetrizine can also be advised.
Doing cold compresses can also help..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
