I have a busted lip and it was still swollen the next day. what should i do?

How bad?: If badly torn up, see a physician/dentist. You may need stitches and/or antibiotics. If it's not so bad, put an ice pack wraped in a towel on the outside of the lip, 10 minutes on and ten minutes off and take Ibuprofen or any anti-inflammatory (tylenol (acetaminophen) is not anti-inflammatory) to reduce the swelling.
