thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swollen lip could be because of infection from the broken tooth or it can be mucocele. the reddish gums could be because of the deposits or trauma. consult a oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the infection and root fracture. you have to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. if needed tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment or pulp therapy. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
