Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain skin rashes along with swollen lips after taking certain medication is due to allergic reaction to the medication and the medication should not be continued as the reaction can keep on worsening..

You should give her benadryl to relieve the symptoms and along with it do cool compresses over the rashes and apply calamine lotion..
Give plenty of water to faster wean off the drug from the body and give sufficient rest..

If the symptoms does not get better or worsen consult an Allergist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
