My upper lip was split in two after an accident... the doctors sutured the lip back together but there is severe swelling and pain now after two week?

See your doctor...: While it may be normal to have some pain after an injury, persistent pain and swelling can be indicative of an infection. Is there any drainage or redness? You should see your doctor to have the repair examined to make sure there is no infection.
