Lip Got Swollen After Bite. Have Pain In Jaw, Uncomfortable To Move Head, Hurts Bad When I Touch It. Should I Be Worried?
I recently bit my lip. At first it wasn t anything too bothersome or uncomfortable but a couple of days ago It swelled up and because very raw. That wasn t even too much of a problem but then I developed a pain in my jaw right behind the lower jaw bone on the right side. there isn t a lump, in fact it feels like the side that hurts is less firm than the side that doesn t hurt at all.. It s uncomfortable to move my head, and hurts bad when i touch it. also, when i move my tongue I can feel pressure in the area but not pain. What is this and should I worry?
I have studied your case. As per your history and symptoms it can be mucosal injury to your lips . No need to worry for that. If there is wound you can apply antibiotic ointment or just cream is sufficient.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
