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.
