Two days ago I woke up with a swelling and my right upper lip seemed hard and was sore to the touch. I massaged it and it went away in about 30 mins. The next I woke up and my lower lip had this same swollen hard feeling... the swelling went down to a point where I almost didn't feel it unless I touched something against my lips. Is this an infection ? The lips are a little red but I don't see anything else
