Suggest Remedy For Injury In Lower Inside Lip

Hi, my 3 year old bit his lower inside lip. It stopped bleeding, but now appears to have a clot in the hole where he bit it. He is eating ice cream and Popsicles with no pain. Do I need to be concerned with the clot that looks to be filling in the hole where he bit the lip?

Hi

There is nothing to be bother about the clot. Clot is defines mechanism to prevent bleeding: Do not attempt to remove the clot as it may provoke bleeding.
Continue giving him cold food which will decrease the chance of rebreeding.

Take Care
