Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms are pointing towards allergic reaction only causing hives and Allergic Angioedema of lips..

If it started after taking this mixture of lemon garlic and ginger root blend then it can be probably due to any of the constituents of this mixture..

So my suggestion is to stop taking this supplement and see if the symptoms improve..

If not you can take antiallergics like Levocetrizine or Allegra..
Do cool compresses over the lips..

If still there is no improvement consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..
In that case you should undergo allergic testing to rule out the exact cause of the allergic reaction..

Once the allergen is ruled out avoid exposure to it to prevent the symptoms from occurring..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
