Brief Answer:
Looks like a part of generalized allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir,

Thank you for posting your query here.

I have gone through your question and have reviewed your picture as well.

From the image attached, I feel this is a part of the generalized allergic reaction.

The culprit could be something that you ate earlier or it could be one of the medicines you might be taking if any.

It would be useful to identify the allergen, I would request you to remember any particular food you are allergic to and if you have eaten that just before you developed these hives and swelling in the lips.

Anti allergic medicines like cetrizine of ebastin would help relieve you of the symptoms.

So I would suggest you consult your local doctor and get yourself a prescription for the same.

I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to write back if you need further information.

Wishing you speedy recovery.

Best regards
