What Causes Swelling Of Bottom Right Lip?

My bottom right lip began to swell yesterday. Today it is more than 3x it's normal size & the small clear-white blisters have turned a single yellowish tinged area smaller than my pinkie nail- it isn't raised but remains beneath the surface. I've experienced little to no pain only a slight discomfort with the swelling. It's gotten to the point where it has become cumbersome & the area beneath my jaw has become tender to the touch.

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through your history, you need to undergo a proper visual examination and radiographic also if needed.
This might be due to spread of infection from an adjacent tooth or gum area.
I would suggest you to visit a dentist for proper examination and correct treatment.
Meanwhile, you can start an antibiotic course of Amoxicillin 500 mg 2 times a day for 3 days.
Hope my answer will help you.
