Kids, can have a lip licking tic. When this happens, the lips can get very painful after a while. I have seen some doozies in my life of kids who get Candida around the mouth.

First place to start is figuring out what is he doing with his mouth?

Is he licking paint brushes at school? (pointing watercolor brushes) Blowing up latex balloons?
Drinking alot of sugary drinks? Eating hard candies?
Allergic to toothpaste?

People with shellfish allergies get swollen lips.

Sounds like a trip to the allergist for him is coming.
