A member asked:
My 1 yr old split his lip last night and it is swollen and an angry red now. what can i do to make the swelling go down and know it's not infected?

Lip: Applying a cool cloth may help or giving him a Popsicle. Make sure his teeth are not affected. If the swelling is looking worse instead of better in 1-2 days, have him seen. All the best.
