Avoid repeat injury.: Bite injuries to the lip heal quickly so long as you don't repeatedly injure the same spot. This can be tough when the area is swollen. Make sure to chew food slowly and carefully and avoid hard/crunchy foods for a few days. Be careful of the site when brushing your teeth, but otherwise keep your mouth clean to promote healing. You can use ibuprofen (as directed in box) to reduce pain/swelling.
