Answers:
You don't say when this happened, but ice would have been the best for it for the first twenty four hours!. If it's been longer than twenty four hours since you did this!. Try applying moist heat to the lip!. Soak a wash cloth with hot water, ring it out then apply to lip!. Bruising is blood buildup beneath the skin and your body will eventually soak it up, the heat will help that process along!. You might still try the ice along with the heat!. Twenty minutes on, twenty off!. Best of luck to you young lady!. That had to really hurt, and probably looks awful!. But hey, if people know what happened to you, they should understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep the ice on it!. The cut on the inside of your lip should heal in no time, just be careful not to get salt in it, that stings! You start school on monday or in a week!? If almost a week, your lip should be almost fine!.!.!.shouldn't be that noticeable!. About the color, if it is still discolored, just put some lipstick or lipgloss on!. Hope it heals before school!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Put a spoon in the freezer then after it gets cold (I suggest about 5 hours in the freezer) Put it on your lip and leave it there!. Try not to bite to lip because it's swollen and it gets big and you might bite it causing it to swell more!. Relax and don't speak to much just try to get the blood flowing again!. Massage the area of the lip before and after you freeze it because it helps blood pass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
