Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Bottom lip is slightly swollen on one side and I am not sure what is going on inside her mouth.

This is my 5 month old bun Freya. This afternoon I noticed that one side of her bottom lip seemed slightly swollen. I of course freaked out and checked her mouth. Her teeth seem perfect but I am not sure If it is a wound or a sore or an abcess. I'm am super worried. She is acting completely normally. Eating and pooping and Binkies and just as loving as always. I have an appointment for her first thing tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas? Sorry if it's not the best picture.

An abscess from an infected tooth is what I would first suspect.

She went to the vet the morning after I posted this. She is doing pretty good!! She did have a small abcess and it turned out to be from a wound of some kind possibly from hay. She has been on antibiotics since Saturday and the swelling has already gone done almost totally! She goes back to the vet on the 22nd for a check up and they will decide then if it needs to be scraped out.
Throughout this She has been great. We got her to the vet before she started showing any ill effects so I think that helped. She has continued eating great and pooping great and still doing flops and binkies so she seems to be feeling okay.
So scary ! I love her so much! I hope this passes easily and quickly

here is a picture of her from Tuesday night
