Upper or lower lips swollen
When I wake up in the morning, my upper lip or the lower lip gets swollen over night. And then it takes 2-3 days for it to heal. It happens once and sometimes twice a week. The swelling is painful initially and then it becomes red. What to do?

It could either be allergic reaction or you are mouth breathing and that is causing irritation to the lips and drying them out.. consult a dentist or a physician to diagnose properly
