I accidentally bit the inside of my lip, and now its really swollen. Its making it hard to eat and talk. What can I do to reduce the swelling and make it heal faster?
You can try using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical oral gel containing lidocaine to help numb the area and provide some relief. Make sure to eat soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate the area further. If the swelling persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
