No need to do anything with it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Can you please attach a photo of this area?
As saliva contains immunoglobulins and growing factors, wounds in the mouth and lip wounds heal pretty fast and usually without any medication. So the best you can do is to wait and see. It should get healed in few days.
If not, consult your dentist.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
