What Could Be The Swelling And Redness In My Lips?

The inside of my upper left is red and swollen. I don't see blisters yet just swelling and redness. It wasn't here this morning and just appeared in the afternoon. it also makes my lips feel kind of numb and thick like it has anesthesia. What is this?

Hello!Welcome to HCM.

This can be a normal oral ulcer before breaking.Do not panic.Use a warm saline gargle thrice daily.Check if you used any new mouthwash or tooth paste which you might be allergic to.
Apply a soothing ointment like quadragel on the area thrice daily.
This must become normal in a few days.Do not irritate the area probing with your finger or anything.

Regards.
