Hi!
Thank you for your response. My son is doing OK , no other symptoms.His lip looks , a little less swollen. Hopefully by tomorrow the swelling will decrease more. I was told it will take 3 days for the swelling to go down. I'm so glad he did not loosen or chip a tooth. Thank you again..
Hi,
How is your son? Are there other symptoms present? You can apply a cold pack to the lip to reduce injury from the swelling. If it is not swelling anymore, no cold pack is advised. After the initial swelling, applying cold is not advised because it will reduce the blood flow to the area and slow healing. It is also important that you rest the lip. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor or dentist. Take care and keep us posted.
