Infection: You may have an infected wound in your lip/mouth. There are many bacteria in your mouth, and when your oral mucosal layer is broken these can infect you. Please seek medical attention today -- can go to urgent care center. May need antibiotics. Getting hit in the first place is an additional issue.
