Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that due to traumatic injury there has been inflammation of soft tissues and due to it there seems to be swelling of the lip and also a possibility that heaviness is due to numb feeling that occurs due to injury to the terminal nerve endings..

I would suggest you to do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lip..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
You should also take Vitamin B complex supplements..

In case if there is no improvement consult your treating physician and get evaluated ..
You should also maintain a proper hygiene in that area to prevent infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
