Common Causes of Lip Swelling
- Allergic Reaction (Angioedema): A common cause of sudden swelling, often triggered by food, medication, or an insect bite.
- Trauma or Injury: A direct blow, cut, or burn to the lip will cause localized swelling and bruising.
- Dental Abscess: An infection from an upper or lower front tooth can spread and cause the corresponding lip to swell significantly.
- Mucocele: A blocked salivary gland can create a small, soft, blister-like swelling, usually on the inside of the lower lip.
- Sunburn: Severe sunburn can cause the lips to become swollen, red, and painful.
