How to treat a deeply cut lip??!
Question: How to treat a deeply cut lip!?!?
I bit my lip last night and it was very deep and bled a lot!. Don't ask how I did it!.!.!. I was watching tv and it didnt hurt when I did it so I didnt realise when i bit through it!. I know!.!.!. silly me!. anyway its very deep and was purple at the bottom of the cut!. today my lip had gone yellow-white around the cut and is swollen slightly!. Is there anything i can put on the cut to help it heal!? It's very sore and hurts when it comes in contact with anything, especially fruits because they are acidic!. Any ideas!? Thankyou :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

There's not too much you can do, really!. Make sure you keep it clean, using soap and water!. Also, keep it moist- apply vaseline or some other kind of unscented lip ointment liberally!. Keeping a wound moist will help it heal faster, especially on soft tissues like the lips!. Putting Vaseline on it before eating or drinking will help protect it temporarily so the food/drink matter won't go directly into the cut (but you'll probably have to put some more on afterward, because the food/drink will wash it away after a while!.)
If you start to notice drainage that's greenish or yellowish in color, go to your doctor, because that can indicate an infection!. Clear drainage is normal!. Other 'danger signs' to watch for: the wound doesn't start to heal after about a week; the wound appears to grow or get worse; the wound/area around the wound turns a deep red color (a little redness is normal)!. Of course, don't pick at it, hard as it is!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
