Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen lip could be because of the trauma to the lip or it can be due to allergy to some food or insect bite. Consult a oral physician and get your grand son examined completely to rule out the above said conditions.
You have not mentioned about any history of fall or trauma during sports camp or playing.
You can take an analgesic with antiinflammatory drugs like tablet enzoflam if it is because of trauma.
if it is allegic or insect bite origin then you can start with antihistamines like cetrizine.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
If you have any queries are there reply me back.
