Hi,
Welcome for your query to HCM.

Soreness of the lower lip is probably due to the food allergen-which You ate for the first time. Splitting of the lower lip can be avoided by the timely treatment at HOME and at Clinic.
Cause of this Swollen Lower Lip-at your age-is the Food Allergy /Hives / Urticaria of Unknown Origin (Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria) aggravated by menopausal syndrome/ May sometime be due to the eosinophilia with Worm infestation.
Remedy-
Cold Ice Packs / Or
Hot Water Packs would reduce the edema
Aloe Vera gel with Tea tree oil mixture applied locally reduces the swelling
Consult Dermatologist -if home remedies or remedies of your family doctor don't regress swollen lip.
Tab Antihistaminic like cetirizine or avil +Tab Steroid-sublingual pellet would resolve the swelling of the lower lip immediately in 20-30 mts. Antihistaminic is available over the counter.
Inj. Antihistaminic /IM ly Inj+ IV-Inj. Dexamethasone-would reduce the swelling in 10-15 mts.
