Canker sore? or ?: First we need to make sure what you diagnosed is truly a canker sore and there is nothing else that is causing the swollen lip. Canker sores do not generally cause lip swelling usually resolve on their own within 10-14 days. I suggest you see a dentist to evaluate your symptoms and suggest treatment if necessary and appropriate.

Not typical: Canker sore or pathos ulcers occur inside the mouth. Cold sores or herpes typically effect the lip. See a dentist for diagnoses and the best treatment.
