Because lip swelling and swelling in general may be a sign of a life-threatening condition, such as an anaphylactic reaction, you should seek emergency medical care (call 911) if you experience lip swelling accompanied by difficulty breathing, hives or rash, intense distress, fever, and redness or warmth.
