I cannot give you a diagnose but I hope you have a vet appointment and you are getting him there ASAP.Whatever you get told here anyway is in no way a substitute for medical care which is obviously what he needs..NOW.

good luck~

Is it his lip or jaw?

If it’s his jaw he could have MBD.......

What is his diet?

What are your temps and humidity levels?

Do you have a UVB light?

If it is the jaw that is swollen it very well could be MBD. Puff had this happen about 5 - 6 months ago it only lasted a few days but it’s a signal of brittle bones. Go to a vet as soon as possible!! If you catch MBD early it is fixable.
