Inside lip inflammation from a drinking straw, what should i do?

This will heal: It sounds like you bruised yourself with a straw. If this is the case it will heal in a few days without any treatment. Avoid acidic, citrus and spicy foods while it is healing.

Or.......: I agree with the excellent answer already given by dr. Eleczko. Just wondering if it was the straw itself or possibly a reaction to what you were drinking?
