Answer 1

A lip that swells suddenly is often a sign of an allergic reaction, usually to something you've eaten.  If it doesn't go away on its own, either you're still exposing yourself to whatever causes the allergic reaction, or it's not an allergy.  If it persists, see a doctor.  Vaseline won't do any good.

Answer 2

You might be allergic to something you ate the day before and the vaseline isn't helping much. It sounds like it is making it worse. If I was you I would stop the vaseline and try something new. If it doesn't go away in a couple of days you should get it looked at just in case.
