Visit the doctor  again who has put stiches over lip.  Are the stitches removable or non removable? Some times due to stitching over skin in lips entraps some salivary gland inside so the saliva starts accumulating in lip.  Just visit ur doctor  again or else send photos of the concerned area to me.
