I have gone througe your query and after considering your medical history the possible causes of swollen upper lip are-
(1) Insect bite on upper lip.
(2) Infection of gums and teeth of upper jaw.
(3) Furuncle on upper lip.
(4) Cavernous sinus thrombosis- here swelling also involves the cheek and eye lids.
(5) Allergic reaction to proteins of sea fishes.
(6) Allergic reaction to drugs.
(7) Idiopathic- When cause is unknown.
Depending on the cause of swelling treatment is plane out.
