I just had a cyst removed from the bottom of my lip, and they didn't give me much information for aftercare? except to ice it

Ice is to keep the: ..swelling down & reduce pain. Other common sense advice include: eating soft food for a while, continuing routine tooth brushing (avoid the wound area), rinsing your mouth out with warm water after eating, and using an oral rinse like Peroxyl twice a day. If you don't have an aspirin allergy, you can take ibuprofen or naproxen for pain. Lips tend to heal quickly, so u should feel better soon.
