A member asked:
Hi, my 2 year old son fell and bit his lip. it is extremely swollen with white blotses inside the top lip. how do we treat this.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most of these self heal and the saliva has antibacterial properties that make meds unnecessary. If the bite crossed from the fleshy red vermillion of the lip into the normal skin & this lies open, it may need to be stitched together to preserve the proper alignment of those two tissues.
