Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms of redness and puffiness of lip can be most probably an allergic reaction only although milder enough to cause any discomfort..

As the most recently used drug is in the form of Flonase inhaler, the redness and puffiness of lip can be a side effect of it or any other medication if she is taking..

So it is advisable to wait and watch as she is not having any pain or progression and she can do cool compresses over the lip..

If she is having any worsening of symptoms then she can be weaned off he medications to check if it improved and then further management can be done accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
