Tea bag: Tea bag may promote clotting. But if you're still bleeding after 3 days you really should see an Oral Surgeon. May need stitches.

Trauma to the lips: Trauma to the lips is quite common. If there is still bleeding, apply pressure with a clean cloth for at least five minutes. Using ice can help limit swelling, bleeding and discomfort. Wrap crushed ice in clean gauze or a clean piece of cloth and hold it on the area affected. Take care.
