Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tiredness, loss of appetite and swollen lips in child. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food allergy , salivary gland infection , hypopituitarism . I would suggest you to avoid applying any cosmetic product except petroleum jelly , drink plenty of water , take over the counter anti histamine like bendryl and protect it from direct sunlight . If condition persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and antibiotics for infection .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
