General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
you need not worry about the bump post kissing which is an inflammatory response to the bite during kissing.
this is quite normal and heals on its own in a few days. since it is not filled with any fluid such a pus as you have mentioned in the query, this is not of much concern.
you can apply cold milk cream over the bump for soothing effect.
if you find it to be very painful kindly apply zytee gel over the affected part. this would speed up the recovery process.
hope you are satisfied with the response.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM.
