If the swollen area is painful and hot to the touch as well, the answer is almost certainly yes. The consequencies for not attending to infections are serious. See a medical professional as soon as possible. Don't fool around with this one.

Any abnormal change, pain or aching that lasts for more than two days may be a sign of lip infection. It is most likely to notice these changes when you yawn, laugh or stretch your lips. Other common signs are: swollen, red or pale site, severe inflammation or even eczema, irritation or burning sensation, or in severe situations, you may experience discharges with foul smell and yellow pus.

It is highly recommended to visit your physician as soon as your notice any of the above mentioned sign around your lip piercing.
