Hello,

I've gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it seems to be an allergic reaction.

You can apply Hydrocortisone ointment thrice a day over rashes...you may take tab. Claritin 10mg once a day. These medications should be available over the counter.

Please let me know do you have a fever, blisters over lips or body?
Any history of allergy to any food or medications, breathing problems, lip swelling?

Let me know I can assist you further.
