A member asked:

Can a swollen lip heal overnight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeffrey Goldstein answered

Specializes in Cosmetic Dentistry

Yes.: Depends on why it was swollen. An allergic reaction, if mild, can disappear overnight. Trauma to the lip, such as a blow received in a fight or a cut to the lip will take longer.
