Question : My daughter was hit in the mouth with a child's hat... It cut the inside of her lip...it's been three days and she cries with pain... All I can see is a white circle type mark where she says it hurts...do I need to take her to someone or will it heal on it's own... Gave her Tylenol and rinsing with water.
