Why Is My Lip Swollen On One Side?

[abbeyleigh]

My lip is swollen on the right and just wondered if I should be concerned?

Been talking out of the side of your mouth??

[abbeyleigh]

Don't think so

Might you have bitten your lip?

[jourdain2]

First question is 'Does it hurt?' If it doesn't, I don't think I'd worry too much unless it stays around a while.
If it does, what sort of hurt?
Are there any marks visible, like a tiny hole which could indicate an insect bite?
You need to leave it for a few days to decide whether or not to be concerned. You are young, so the odds are that it is just one of those things. But keep an eye on it.

No it don't hurt lip just feels massive

[jourdain2]

Well, I can't see it, obviously. In my experience these things are usually an allergic reaction to something, which eventually go down.
I am no medic however. If you have some anti-histamine, pop some on, or bathe in cold water. See what it is like in the morning.

Speak to a pharmacist

Also good advice if it still bothers you in the morning.

Is your boyfriend left-handed?

[abbeyleigh]

I haven't got one

Could it be start of a cold sore? Are you prone to them as they tend to occur winter anyway. Or could you have kissed someone who had a cold sore? Or shared lip gloss with someone who had cold sore? - they are passed on very easily.

Sorry, abbey... I was being rather frivolous. Not in the best of taste.

[abbeyleigh]

Non neither karamia

Abbey it’s possible you may have bitten the inside of your lip in your sleep - I’ve done that before. Try putting some ice in a face cloth or handkerchief and holding it on your lip.
