Hello,

It seems that the symptoms of swelling of lips and sneezing can be due to Allergic reaction causing Allergic Angioedema of lips.

Yes, it can be due to any medication or food while other causes can be allergic reaction to any skin cosmetic, soap, lip balm etcetera.

I would suggest you to consult a physician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests for allergies like RAST test, Patch test, Food Challenge test can help in ruling out the exact cause of the symptoms and treat accordingly.

As of now, take anti allergic like Levocetirizine drug, and do cool compresses over the lips. You can be advised injectable steroids and antihistamines to reduce swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
