Hydrate and protect: First, you have to make sure the tissues are staying healthy. The easy fix is to drink more water to hydrate from the inside, and wear a lip balm to protect lips from the environment (and keep moisture in). Next, eliminate the possibility that youhave an alergic reaction by noting if you get symptoms shortly after certain foods or gums. No relief, see your dentist or oral surgeon to assess.
