Its Ok: This is a normal reaction as the body is fixing the damaged area Usually no treatment is needed as it settles in few days Sometimes salty or sour food might irritate the area and you will need to wash out the food with water

Monitor it: This is a normal reaction to a "bit Lip." Monitor the area and if the swelling increases, your pain worsens, then see the Dr. or dentist. Ice chips can help decrease the swelling and Ibuprofen (with food) can help with inflammation and pain as needed. Time will generally heal these type of wounds, best wishes.
