I was recently diagnosed with a mild staph infection that spread to my lips. they were dry and cracking. My doctor prescribed me antibiotics for the infection and told me to use triple antibiotic ointment and Vaseline to heal my lips. now about a day after I started all of the treatments, both of my lips are swollen and my doctor won't be available until Monday and I have no health insurance to be able to just pop in for a visit to the emergency room unless I absolutely need to. what could the swelling be from? what should I do?

I'm not entirely sure what the swelling is from but it doesn't sound like it's harmful if you're still able to eat or move your mouth. Perhaps it is a reaction to the ointment. Can you give us an update? Did you find out what it is?
