How Can A Skin Bite Inside The Lips Be Treated?

My son recently had a tooth pulled and chewed the inside of his lip. His dr told us a mix of something to use and it helped. I can not remember what it was something like aquaphor and oragel. He has chewed the inside of his lip again can you tell me something to use for it

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you child has skin bite inside lips which is leading to localized inflammation which is an inflammatory reaction in that area leaves a lump on inner surface. Need not to worry about that. I would suggest you to
- Maintain complete oral hygiene.
- Apply Orabase gel on inner surface of lips.
- Apply Lignocaine gel as well if it is really painful.
- Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food substances.

If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after thorough examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
