Brief Answer:
Would suggest taking Cetirizine 10mg x 2 tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sudden onset lip swelling can be due to a particular food intolerance/allergy if there was a history of food allergy in the past; or a spontaneous reaction where antihistamine tablets will help.

However, the picture you have uploaded has nothing to do with your question, so maybe an oversight on your part while uploading.
