Inside Of Lower Lip Really Bad After A Filling, Mouth Still Numb. Applied Ambesol, Hydrogen Peroxide. Any Relief ?

My daughter bit the inside of her lower lip really bad the other day after after having a filling at the dentist. her mouth was still numb and she didn't realize the damage she was causing. today is day 2 and there is a white/yellow coating over it. should i remove the coating or keep it intact. i just want it to heal as quick as possible. i have been having her rinse with the colgate mouthwash with the hydrogen peroxide and have been applying ambesol to the actual sore. the sore is the size of a quarter. Thank you for your help. AAAAA

Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.

Avoid spicy,sour food items.

It seems that due to bad bit on her inner lower lip, now there is some infection took place.
Go for one antibiotic medicine like amoxicilin after consulting your doctor.
continue applying ambesol.
She can apply gention violet as well.
Do antiseptic liquid gargles.
Ok and take care.
