Hello,
Thank you for using health care magic.
The Possible Side Effects of CARTIGEN are Anorexia, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Drowsiness, Epigastric pain, Erythema, Headache, Heartburn, Insomnia(loss of sleep), Nausea, Pruritis (itching), Tenderness and Vomiting.
The swellings in her hand and lower lips may or may not be related to cartigen. In either case I would advise you to consult her doctor for the same.
