Hematoma in lip
My upper lip got cut when I fell down while riding a bike. It is cut both on the outside and inside(because of teeth). It was two days ago. The bleeding has mostly stopped but there is a lot of swelling in the lip(hematoma). Right now I am just taking a course of antibiotics and cleaning the wound regularly. What can I do so that swelling goes away faster and I can return to work.

Hope u have showed it to a dentist. Well regular warm saline gargles ( the more you do it the better )will help the swelling to subside faster.folow the instructions given by your dentist.
