How To Treat Burst Blood Vessel Inside Mouth?
i seem to have burst a blood vessel on the inside of my mouth. Between my inner lip and my lower incissor. The blood buildup is the size of a nickel. I feel no pain but when it happened it hurt real bad. How can I take care of this and is there a way to take the pressure off and drain the excess blood away? Is this bad? I am 58, 5'9", 158lbs. I have no health issues other than borderline high BP.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding could be because of the trauma or secondary to the drugs taking for hypertension like aspirin. these two conditions can cause hematoma.
Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. Apply cold with ice pack and followed by hot. Avoid trauma to that area.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
