Red swollen lips: You may be allergic to some spice or food like tomatoes. Would change your diet for 1-2 weeks , eat bland food like white rice, avocados, no spice chicken, avoid acid food ornages, citrus , tomatos,vinegar, dressings, try Zyrtec in AM benedryl in PM, coconut or olive oil to lips (if not allergic), before bed for a week, avoid alcohol, smoking, check for herpes/ strep f/u w/doc or allergist
