Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lip After An Injury

Hi I'm 20 yrs old and I'm 5'2 I weight 128Lbs and I have no medical history.
I had a bike accident 2 days ago and hit face first on concrete. My top lip got a cut and it was swollen. The paramedics that came that day said it was not a cut so bad and it would heel itself and to just place an ice pack for the swelling well I placed ice pack on it every 2hrs the whole day but the inflammation did not come down. My lip dosent feel like its swollen not it feels like maybe it has puss in it and that's why the lip is still swollen...should I go see a doctor? Or is this natural?

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The swelling over the lip could be because of the inflammation secondary to the trauma. You can take a systemic antiinflammatory drug like tablet enzoflam, 3times daily for 3 days. You can apply alternative hot and clod bags over the lip. If the swelling doesnot reduce by 7 days consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
