What Is The Cause Of Swelling Of Frenulum Of Lip And How Can It Be Treated?
The thing that connects my gums to my lip (on the top) is very sore. If I run my tongue along it, it feels larger and more swollen then usual. If I look at it in the mirror it appears to be normal. Pain is very severe if I move/wiggle my nose or move that part of my lip in any way. Do you know what could have made this happen? And what I can do to help it???

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If I would be your doctor then I would treat this condition with anti-inflammatory drug and the best drug would be Ibuprofen 400 mg twice day this will subside the pain and swelling, if it does not respond to this treatment then you need to see the dentist, take care and have good day.
