Why Do I Have Tooth Pain And Swollen Lip?
For the past 2 days I have had massive tooth pains. Today when I woke up the inside of my upper lip was slightly swollen. I have been taking otc pain medication but it only worked to a certain extent as I still feel pain. What do you think that it is?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you have tooth pain, it looks that the tooth is infected and now the infection is spreading to the apex of the tooth that is why it is causing swelling of the lip .
According to me you should visit your dentist and get root canal treatment done, as it will solve the problem.
Hope it will help you.
