The breathing part would have worried me too. I think you should take her to A&E as NHS direct can`t give you a correct diagnosis without seeing her. Its probably nothing to worry about but at least it will put your mind at rest. Hope she`s ok x.

Im 19 years old and when i had to have a filling, i had an reaction to the injection, i got very sleepy and my lip got swollen too but it went down after a few hours. If she had an injection it may be a minor reaction. however, do keep an eye on as everyoen is different.
Good Luck and all the best for your gandaughter

I have never heard of anything like this before and it really does not sound right to me. Maybe she has some sort of allergy to the ingredients of the filling.
I would be really worried too as if it has made her lip swell, it could easily make her tongue swell. i think I would be tempted to take her to A&E. It is much better to be safe than sorry.
