Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
As per your complain it seems that you have inflammation in the area between the lower lip and the gum and it can be due t a few reasons like:
1. It can be due to
injury with some hard food substance like some hard chips or anything else which cause injury to the mucosa leading to inflammation and there is
redness,swelling and discomfort..
2.It can also be due to injury by toothbrush bristles due to accidental slipping of toothbrush..
3. It can also be due to thermal burns caused by some hot food or
chemical burn caused by some food item of something else like mouthwashes..
You need not to worry as it will get relieved soon..
You should do warm saline gargles..
Apply Lignocaine gel over the sore area for relief..
Sucking ice pops and drinking plenty of cold water or doing cold water gargles will provide relief..
Along with if you can take OTC painkiller like
Ibuprofen..
In case if still it does not resolve
consult a dentist and get evaluated..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards..
