What Could Be Reason For Swelling In The Lips Which Is Painless Except For Some Tingling?

Hi i was sitting in class today when I noticed the inside of my bottom lip felt swollen up at the top, and when i went to go look at it there was a red line that looks almost as if its blood right underneath were it feels swollen. It doesnt hurt, it just feels a bit tingly when i run my top teeth over it. It almost feels as though my lip is filled with fluid at the top.... what could this be? its across my entire lip and im not sure if i should be worried or not. It happened one other time about a year or two ago and it stayed for a few weeks until it eventually went away.
