Hi there ~
Your cousin might just be suffering from infection of the upper lip. You will probably feel better with some antibiotics. However it might be advisable to see a dentist if you are not having the feeling of the medications making the swollen upper lip any better. I think you should take this seriously and consult with a dentist. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day !
