Why is it swollen?: The question is why or what is causing you swollen lip. If you hit it or got thumped in the mouth. Is there a growth in or on your lip? You can ice a lip and see if the swelling goes down. If that doesn't work...Go see a doctor and get it looked at or biopsied.

Ice: But as also advised, why is it swollen? Your post did not say. If it was traumatized, then it will heal on its own after a day or two. If it is anything else, see your dentist and/or physician for an exam.

See an allergist: Lip swelling can occur with an allergy to many things. A contact reaction by food , latex gloves, smoking, your cosmetics is just the short list of what is going on. In addition the sun can also damage skin, and cause swelling. If there is one area that appears like a redden dot in the swollen lip you may have been bitten by an insect. At sleep lips being moist are particularly attracted to bugs.
