Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain severe swelling of bottom lip that is not getting relieved seems to be due to allergic reaction to some unknown allergen and due to it there is occurrence of Allergic Angioedema of lip..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

As of now you can start taking antihistamines like Allegra or Benadryl..
You can do cool compresses over the lips..
In case if irritation and pain apply steroid ointment over lips..
Avoid licking or sucking the lips..
Apply petroleum jelly for lubrication..

Hope this information helps..

Regards..
