its not a cold sore because i have never had one nor have been close enough to contract it from someone else

You could have an infection in/around one of your teeth. That used to happen to me a lot. You may not experience any kind of pain with this either. Or you may have been bitten by an insect such as a spider without knowing...but I would have to say that it sounds like a tooth infection.

could be an allergy, not particulary something you ate but maybe something got on your lip dust etc. that didn't agree with you, my dad gets a similar problem his gets so puffy that he looks like the nutty proffessor...anyways try a benedryl and if that doesn't work I would go to the ER and get it checked out if nothing else helps

Sounds like you're getting a cold sore. Try some Carmex

it might be an allergy. or maybe you had hit it somewhere without really realizing it. some insects and bacteria can also produce such an effect. put an icepack on it to reduce the swelling and if it doesn't go down, it's best to see a doctor.

1 allergy 2 neurodermatitis 3 early cellulitis 4 early herpes. Apply "tincture of time" and see how it goes.

Ok i am a doctor and i just wanted a question like this..... heres what you do:
1-you might have been hit some how while your sleeping if u sleep walk well its a hit just wait for some days and it will go on its own.
2-if not ask your self about what did you eat yesterday try to avoide it you might be ilergict to it.
3- In my opinion just go get some cream for your lips and a lip softner use for couple of days you will be ok.
4-If non- of these worked then you better go to a doctor ( just like me....) and ask for what happened for your lips .
my love
