Answers:
Have you recently used any new products on your face or eaten something new? If so then this could just be an allergic reaction. If the symptom persists then take some anti-histamine tablets like piriton which you can buy in the pharmacy for about 4 pounds max. This should reduce the swelling and redness and is a very good medicine to keep with you in case of emergencies.
If you don't think it is an allergy, It could be a sign of infection. If your lips are swollen for more than 3 days see your GP.
I would advise you to get the piriton tablets though and if you suddenly feel that it is hard to breathe or swallow call 999, get a straw and put it down your mouth to use as an airway.
