Child Knocked His Teeth After A Fall And Got Lip Injury. What Can Be Done To Reduce The Swelling?
Question: My son had a fall today and knocked his front teeth( with bleeding)as well as getting a XXXXXXX cut( with skin flaps around) inside of his lower lip. His lip is swollen( upper and lower) Put lots of ice on it. Not bleeding anymore. I am not sure if his left front tooth is slightly shorter than the other.Do I need to take him to the doctor?
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
As per the photograph sent by you, it is a XXXXXXX cut and may need to get stitched.
I suggest you to get him examined by doctor.
In the meantime continue applying ice compresses. You may give him ibuprofen for pain relief as per dosage. Give plenty of fluids; give ice cubes to suck; you can also give ice creams.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any other question I would be glad to help.
Wishing your child good health.
God bless you.!!
