What Causes Swelling In Upper Lip?

Hello, about 4 hours ago I was sitting at my computer when I noticed that the left side of my upper lip was swelling slightly. Since then it has increased to nearly 3/4 of the lip. It is not a surface problem like a pimple or cold sore. It's like I was stung by a bee (but I was not). I not taking any meds and the only allergy I have is to penicillin. What could cause this?
