Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your you have swollen lip after sinus infection which is normal as there is spread of infection through facial spaces. Pain in face, eyes and ears occurs due to maxillary sinusitis and swelling of lips is due to periodontal infection. I would suggest you to take benadryl for this. Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Sinarest along with this. You should apply cold compressors on lips. You should keep applying petroleum jelly on it. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and egt it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Take multivitamin tablet rich in vitamin B12.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
