Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling over the lips could be because of the allergic reaction or it can be extension of the tooth or gum infection.
Consult a oral physician to rule out these conditions.
If it is tooth or gum infection you need to take a course of antibiotics and treat the causative tooth.
If it is a allergic reaction, then it has to be treated with anti allergic agents like cetrizine.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
