What Should Be Done For Swollen Lips Due To Accident?
Hi Doctor,
I am Farah.
My cousin, 6 years old fell on his face yesterday by accident. It was very painful at first and his teeth were bleeding. His lips were also swollen but in the morning it got worse and there is a clot too.
Please advice.
Thank you.

Hi, thanks for using HCM.
As you have mentioned in history about fall, Child needs to be examined for any fracture in face bones and nose examination is necessary.
After a fall usually swelling and redness will increase till 2 days then starts coming down slowly. Childs needsedications to reduce pain and inflamation. As child is having swollen lips, nutrition and hydration needs to be taken care.
