So my lower lip frenulum hurts. when I move the muscle in my lip or when I play with it it hurts a lot. I m not sure if the pain is causing a headache or not. I would like to know what is causing the pain and how I get it to stop. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow Monday the 19th is there anything I can ask them to do to help me.
Hello, I can understand your concern. Lower French is a muscular septum. Pain in the French can be due to trauma to it by hot or hard food. It may also be felt if it is about to develop an ulcer. The ulcer may not be seen by now but may develop in 1-2 days. None of these problems are severe and can be managed by painkiller like Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 when needed. If an ulcer develop, local application of Endocrine gel (McCoppin) or Colonel will help. You should be fine within a week. You can also delay your appointment for a week for the examination in case you are not pain-free in a week. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best,
