I fell, and I bit the bottom of my lip a couple of days ago, it didnt hurt until the day after. Its hard to drink and very hard to eat, Ive been swishing with salt water but it still hurts Everytime I move my mouth or lips to even talk. I dont feel like its getting better. What should I do?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Lip biting lesion can be painful, though it depends on the extent of the bite taken place. It usually subsides on its own. I would advise you to apply mucosal / denote on the lesion two or three times a day till the symptoms subside. Continue with the salt water gargling or any mild antiseptic mouth wash. Paracetamol can be taken if pain is severe. If it persists more than a week or so, please consult your oral surgeon and have it reviewed. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
