Hi,
It seems that you are having acute infection in your mouth.
You require one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine courses, without these medicines there might not have any improvement.
Consult your doctor and go for treatment.
Do warm water antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.

Hi, it appears to be due to the parodontia, means the infection of the gums of the teeth, that spread to the lips, as you didn't show to any doctor it is spreading.
I to my patient with such infection prescribes ofloxacin, ornidazole, and antiinflamatories. Thank you.
