Swollen lip

2018-03-24 19:53:12
Hey, I asked a question about a bike crah yesterday about how the road rash on my face would heal and that was helpful and it's healing nicely. My concern now is I crashed yesterday at 5pm and now the next day and my swollen lip hasn't gone down. The lip is swollen in the middle of my upper lip and is about 1in wide it does not hurt and the lip didn't split from the swelling. I believe this was casued by my braces impacting my lip. So I was wondering how long can this last and how to treat it.

Apply cold unsalted butter continuously...if redness then apply a cold wet cloth over the part after butter application.. swelling and all comes down within 3 hrs. To 24 hrs.
