Hello,
Bruise on the upper lip may be due to trauma, insect bite, accidental biting of lip, allergic reaction, usage of drugs like Aspirin and Warfarin, low platelet count, hemophilia or leukemia. Minor bruising is not a cause of concern as it subsides on itself by 5-7 days. If bruises appear without any trauma or cause, spontaneously and at many locations, then you need to see a doctor for thorough clinical examination and appropriate treatment.
Most probably your kid might have injured her lip somewhere or bitten her lip. So please don't worry. It will get reduced by itself or you may do cold compression or application of ice on the site. Thrombophob ointment can be used.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
