How To Treat Lump In The Middle Of Lip?

Hi, I fell and my bottom teeth went through my bottom lip ans I now have a huge lump in the middle of my lip on the inside and out. I have been on two doses of antibiotics. This happened on the 17th of June. What can I do to make the lump dissappear?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the lump over the lower lip is due to injury to the soft tissues leading to inflammation as well as HEMATOMA formation..
The hematoma is formed due to injury to the small blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into soft tissues as well as there is release of inflammatory exudate and overgrowth of fibrous tissue and appearrence of inflammatory cells at the site of injury..
At times the hematoma become localized and encapsulated and there is slow resolution..
You should do alternate hot and cold packs over the lump..
Apply Thrombophob gel from outside as it helps in faster dissolution of clot..
You can once consult an oral physician for evaluated to rule out the nature of lesion as in a few conditions surgical removal can be done..

Hope this information helps..
