How can i cure my lip infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: An infection of the lips may be of viral or bacterial origin. If viral, very often it is not treated, if it is severe, acyclovir, zovirax or other anti-viral meds may be used. Sometimes steroids are used. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotic therapy.
