Hello
Thank you for asking the question..
Allergy to any compound leads to swelling and redness, pain, itching to affected area or whole body.
Your husband had developed allergic reaction over lip leads to swelling over lip. So you can take antihistamine like cetrizine to treat the condition. How much time it takes to reduce the swelling depend on allergic reaction. So wait for 2-3 days and swelling will be relieved.
Hope this will helpful to you.
