Swollen lip may be a manifestation of allergic response known as angioneurotic edema.However, it tends to subside within 72 hours.If it persists more than 72 hours, oral infection needs to be investigated.

I know my husband had that and it was an allergic reaction to a certain food.  Did he eat something different from the usual?
