Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like the swelling of the lip is due to infection of the hair follicle in nose and the infection and inflammation has spread to the lip leading to pain and swelling..

You should consult a Physician and get evaluated and a proper treatment should be done..

If there is pus formation then incision and drainage can be done..
It will be followed by a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
Also do cool compresses over the swollen lip..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
