Suggest Medication For Painful Inner Lip Bite
I fell, and I bit the bottom of my lip a couple of days ago, it didn't hurt until the day after. It's hard to drink and very hard to eat, I've been swishing with salt water but it still hurts Everytime I move my mouth or lips to even talk. I don't feel like it's getting better. What should I do?

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 advice you to apply mucogel / dentogel 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.
