Face/lip swelling: Stop Amoxicillin immediately. You may be having an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin (a penicillin) which can sometimes worsen dramatically and cause a anaphylactic reaction. Call you doctor now. But if you start to get trouble breathing, asthma, wheezing, fainting, chest pain, call 911. If you have an antihistamine pill like benedryl, or claritin, (loratadine) or dimetapp, take a dose immediately.

Swollen lips: How much of the medication have you had so far. I would call your dr to rule out allergy to the medication, it is possible it could be you received a bug bite of some sort while sleeping tiny little spiders are notorious for this, but rulee out the antibiotic a\first and if symptoms worsen go to er asap.
