See your dentist: Canker sore will heal themselves after 7 to 10 days. They are usually painful. However there are other causes for a sore on the inside of your lip so you should see your dentist as soon as you can.

Mucocele: Is it painless? If so, could be a mucocele. Have an ENT check it out.

Mucocele?: If it is a blocked salvary gland should swell more during meals. Very common and should be checked out by a dentist to diagnose and treat if needed. Even if it goes away still should seek professional help... Chuck.

See your dentist: No internet answer can possible replace a one on one clinical exam to diagnose and treat such situations. Please have a local dentist take a look at what you are describing.
