Swollen Upper Lip. Painful. Took Zirtec And Sudafed. Had Toothache. Swelling Moving Towards Eye. Solution?

I have a swollen upper lip. It started as just a sore spot at the entrance to the nostril. My whole upper lip is now swollen. Very painful, taken a Zirtec and Sudafed as my nose has been runny for 2 or 3 days. Swelling has increased by double in the last 4 or 5 hours. I had a toothache for a couple of days, but that has subsided. Swelling is heading up my face toward my left eye

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Swollen upper lip can be due to dental infection, i would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done take an x-ray of the tooth, if needed go for root canal treatment.
Maintain a good oral hygiene take antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..
