Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that an abscess has been formed in the apex of the tooth which was broken. And now this abscess is seeking an area to drain and getting bigger in size, that is why your lip is swollen.
You should visit a good dentist and get a root canal treatment done of the tooth, as it will reduce the infection and swelling.
Hope it will help you.
