Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Those symptoms could be most likely due to an allergic reaction to Meloxicam. They should subside gradually, I wouldn't worry. In the case the swelling persists for over a week then you should see your physician to have some blood tests for kidney or rheumatologic conditions which could also cause such swelling.
I hope to have been of help.
