Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

The swelling of the lip cold be an allergic reaction to the medications you have taken.

Do take a dose of antihistaminics which will surely reduce the problem and help.

Also consult your treating doctor for your medications to be revised based on the allergic history.

Wish you good health.
