Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Cuts Inside Lips Due To Braces
I have several cuts on the inside of my upper lip in the front, mostly from my braces and partially from getting hit in the mouth. My lips are totally swollen now and the cuts are white and puffy now. I can hardly eat anything and it does not seem like it is getting any better because the swelling has been recurrent for the past 3 days.
Well its quite normal with the orthodontic treatment as u can get small cuts due to braces but as u said u had some mouth injury too so healing will take a little time. White and puffy appearance is the process for start of healing so dont worry about that use benzocain ointment it will help you to eat (mucopain) It can be applied on the cut areas as an whenever you feel uncomfortable, avoid spicy and hot food. It will be resolved in a weeks’ time if there is pain you can take painkillers (kerol d t) (sos) Hope it helps Regard Dr Rakesh Mishra
