My son bumped his lip a few days ago. it's still puffy, bruised and cracked and bleeding a bit. is this normal?

Normal: Unfortunately, it's hard to give your lip "bedrest" and not use it. Every time you talk, it moves and can irritate the injury. You really do just need to give it some extra time. Having him suck on popsicles or freezy pops may help "ice" the area and reduce swelling.
