Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
Allergy to acrylic can cause local irritation and redness. It is not going to cause respiratory discomfort.
Do not panic.
You did not mention any other symptoms if your face is swollen and lip swelling.
I suppose you have some respiratory infection.
Consult your physician for a skin test if you are allergic to methyl methacrylate.
Hope this helps.
