I popped a cold sore and now my lip is swelling up! what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comfortable: Don't play with it or it will get bigger. Do anything that makes you comfortable. It takes about 2 weeks to go away no matter what you seem to do. However check with your pharmacy for a few items that may make you more comfortable - remember that they generally do not shorten the 2 week time.
