Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query sudden swollen inner part of lip can either be due to any bug/insect bite and in case if it is not being considered to be a cause by the physician, it can be an allergic reaction caused by ny food ingredient or caused by accidental biting of the inner side of lip..
You need not to worry and can give her anti-allergic medication like Fexofnadine [allegra] or diphenhydramine [benadryl]
Do cold compreses over the swollen area.
Take anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen.
Avoid injuring the area with your teeth.
Avoid hot and spicy food as it can further irritate the area..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
