Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bumps on the lips could be because of viral infection like herpes simplex.
The swollen lip could be because of the allergic reaction (angioedema). Consult a oral physician to rule out these two conditions. If it is viral infection then you can take topical antiviral and analgesics.
if it is secondary to allergic reaction then you have to anti allergic drugs like cetrizine.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
