Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Swollen lips and rigors and chills with fever and peripheral clamminess could point towards multiple possibilities. It could be some allergy you have been exposed to leading to angioedema symptoms.
It could be a fever with need to find out underlying cause. With naproxen ( Aleve ) helping, i would say its likely a fever. In order to find the cause of this pyrexia, you would need some baseline work up like blood picture, allergen sensitivity test, throat examination and urinary routine exam and chest radiographs. Other baseline work up will be tailored accordingly on need basis.
talk to an internist and let them sort it out for you as it needs a little digging to find the cause.
Meanwhile take some aleve,add some benadryl to it and see if it help. Also try to find an allergen if any, keep an eye on your blood pressure and fever. Record any new or out of the box symptom and discuss it with your doctor.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
