What Causes Swollen Lips And Wrist While Having Lower Respiratory Tract Infection?

Hi my husband was at a+e yesterday diagnosed with LRTI given antibiotics. His symptoms included sudden swelling on lip which resolved by itself then the right side of his tongue swelled up which again resolved by itself. This morning both his wrists have swollen up and his lip is swelling again.He has had no new food or come into contact with anything new to him. Also started well before he took his first antibiotics.Do i need to be concerned aboyt the swelling? Also had antihistimamine with no effect. Many thanks for your time

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Most likely reason of drug induced phenomenon , you said that it started
well before he took his first antibiotics but what about consuming other
medicinal molecules such as decongestants or even non steroidal anti-
inflammatory agents which are known to produce this ?
Kindly provide further inputs to focus more precisely on the issue .
