Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swelling on lip after injury which seems to be due to inflammation of lips caused by traumatic injury leading to accumulation of inflammatory exudate. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on lips as it will reduce pain and swelling. Main asepsis and start taking proper antibiotic course along with anti-inflammatory medication. Avoid sharp and spicy food. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
