Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She might had a allergic reaction, not severe enough like anaphylaxis. Antihistamines are the drug of choice and Benadryl will do the work. As the acute event has subsided, the swelling will subside gradually in couple of days. As of now drink plenty of water, you can apply Triamcinolone ointment for symptomatic relief.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
