It could be angioedema. Try taking some Benadryl and using cool compresses. If it persists you should go to the doctor.
Important: If you feel like your throat is swelling shut, you begin wheezing or your skin is turning blue, you need to get help right away. You may be entering anaphylactic shock. If the swelling began more than two hours ago, this is very, very unlikely to happen, but if it does, go to the ER right away.
Feel better!

An allergic reaction to something. Food, antibiotics, and other meds could cause this. You could have bitten your tongue while you slept or something. And it is possible that the finger swelling is from an insect bite. You should make an appointment with your doctor and have that checked out

Look at what you ate the day it happened. It is most likely a food allergy. Especially with the swelling of the tongue. One can develop an allergy to a food fast. I have a 54 year client that had been a meat eater all her life. She ate organic meats. One day out of the blue she had a sever reaction to beef. A few days latter she had the same reaction to pork.

As for finger and lip swelling, you're right: it could
be an allergic reaction to something; or it might be
an insect bite.
As for your tongue swelling? Bite your tongue! That
would do it, all right.
See a doctor.
Get well soon.

Lips, tongue, and just one finger? Sounds like you have been bitten by something on that finger, either an insect or spider.
If it wasn't for just the one finger it would sound like a food allergy.
You need to go to doctor and have him or her examine you.
Assumin you are in the States, not overseas; It kind of sounds like a nuero toxin like found in Black Widow spiders and Coral snakes or some marine animals.

save ice on it two times on a regular basis to shrink the swelling and proceed with the salt water. Idk how stable listerine is although, be careful with that. The swelling will circulate down for confident. wait and notice, supply it a week or so :)

It could be a multitude of things. It could be something you ate. Seafood?
