I am 25 years old, 56 kgs weight, 5 feet 4 inches height. I have good medical history,just had viral last year. I have got a problem with my lips this weekend,when my fiancee kissed me on my lips with her teeth, that was unintentional. It has turned my lower lip bluish black in color and i have got some swelling and ulcers due to dat, Please suggest a quick solution to make it normal again. I have applied dentogel and boroline but it didnt help. This may seem weird but i need ur help. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The bruising and swelling of the lips takes 10-14 days to disappear completely. A cold compress can help. Massaging the lips can worsen the pain and swelling. It will heal gradually on its own.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
