What Relieves The Pain And Numbness On Lip Due To Stitches?
Hi I have had a lump removed from inside my bottom lip about 48 hours ago. It was caused due to me biting my lip. I have had 4 stiches but they are really very sore and the pain doesn t really subside with cleaning (salt water rinse) or with ibuprofen. One of the stiches is very tight and has caused a lump to form which is numb and has a tingling sensation on the top of my lip. What should I do to relieve the pain? There is no bleeding. Which is good. Thanks Jamie
