My hamster was stepped on; the next day its eye crusted over, later red and swollen, its mouth is crooked, and there is a hard lump on the left cheek pouch (none on the right)—looks like cheek-pouch inflammation per online images.
Hamster cheek-pouch inflammation signs: bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, swollen pouch, hard lump when touched. Compare symptoms to judge. If so, rinse pouch with saline to remove sticky secretions/food, apply a little anti-inflammatory; add vitamin B to water to aid recovery. Feed soft food to reduce irritation. Per your description, the lip redness may be from trauma—check pouch for inflammation; if none, it's lip swelling—disinfect with iodine and apply anti-inflammatory.

This is likely pleural effusion, pyothorax, and pleurisy from heart insufficiency (right-sided congestive failure or pericardial disease raising hydrostatic pressure and capillary leakage). Heart disease needs professional long-term care; the vet may give intensive care and oxygen, and if needed drain the chest and place a chest tube with daily lavage, plus anti-infection, diuretics, and nutrition. Follow the vet's systematic plan.
