Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have symptoms of swelling under lip related to tooth along with swelling extending to nose region is mainly because of formation of pus in one of the tooth in anterior tooth region. there must be carious lesion or badly decayed tooth which caused accumulation of microorganisms and leads to formation of pus. I would suggest you to maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Dentist visit is must for relieve of your symptoms otherwise pus keeps on accumulating and it can damage bone as well after cyst formation. Take antibiotic such as Diclofenac and Ibuprofen to prevent pus accumulation for 5 days. Do warm saline rinses and betadine gargles. Rinse with listerine mouth wash. Root canal therapy is recommended treatment option in your case.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
