Inflammation is due to trauma to your lips by teeth. Continue with application of ice on traumatic area. Such inflammations generally take time but try to keep that area clean and avoid eating hard or spicy food which can re-irritate the area. If possible visit your nearest dentist and get OPG done to make sure that there is no internal damage and hairline fracture.
