Swollen lips: Any airway swelling should be considered an emergency requiring immediate attention. A small allergic response today could be an acute allergic response next time. Don't shrug this off. Get evaluated immediately.

Need exam: There are many reasons for such a condition, and cannot be answered correctly unless a doctor reviews your medical history, see what area is numb, how much swelling you have, where the swelling seems to originate, etc. X-ray may be necessary to better diagnose. As a dentist, i see often that an infected tooth caused much swelling and abnormal nerve response. See a dentist/doctor today!
