Hi Doc, My left lower lip has been puffy/swollen for 3 weeks now. No pain, no itching. Also I found a small bump (not a pimple) inside my gum on the same side. this is the first time this ever happened. I have been taking a beta blocker for 6 months now. (Metrolopol) Thank you for your answer.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, small bump that is swelling can be due to Gum related problems , it can be Periodontal problem formation of periodontal abscess or Carious tooth may be formation of periapical abscess

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily

Consult dentist and go for Scaling and root planning if it is periodontal problem if tooth is carious then go for Root canal treatment.

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
