How do you treat a swollen lip with a cut?

Elevate and ice: After an injury the lip can swell significantly. Early on, keeping the head elevated and applying light ice packs will help.

Depends: If it's a deep cut, see a doctor or go to the er, it may need stitches. Swelling can be treated with ice and time.
