A member asked:
I got stitches in my inner lip yesterday when will the swelling go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 days: In 2-3 days swelling will start to go down. Should be a little less every day after that. Did you discuss this with your Dentist? Were you given instructions about compresses? Were you given anti-inflammatories?
