ER or urgent care: Lactose intolerance is different from milk protein allergy, you need to sort out the cause of lip / tongue swelling, and to stop any new drug for now, hold the lyrica, (pregabalin) please see/call your doctor if you are experiencing throat swelling , hoarseness or shortness of breath, even 911 /ER, epinephrine pen might need to be handy, can use OTC antihistaminic for now , good luck
