Burn to lip

I recieved a burn on the top of my bottom lip from a dental instrument.  It has been 5 days and is still as painful as ever. I feel it can't heal because of every time I close my mouth.  Is there anything I can put on my lip to help it heal faster and relieve pain?

Based on your description the only thing that I would recommend would be to apply Vaseline to the area.
