Question 1

I've bitten the inside of my lip by mistake, and it's gotten pretty swollen now. It's really making eating and talking tough. What should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

You can try using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical oral gel containing lidocaine to help numb the area and provide some relief. Make sure to eat soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate the area further. If the swelling persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

I've noticed this small, skin tag-like piece of tissue inside my mouth on the cheek side, and it's pretty uncomfortable. Im not sure if I should see a dentist or a doctor about it. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Accepted Answer

The excess tissue inside your mouth, resembling a small skin tag, could be a benign growth such as a fibroma, mucocele, or a traumatic fibroma, and it's recommended to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as they can assess the tissue and possibly remove it if necessary

Question 3

I've got some swelling in my inner cheek, right near the last teeth on the lower jaw on the right side, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with bad breath a lot, even though I make sure to brush my teeth twice every day. It's really bothering me since the problem sticks around all day long. I'm starting to wonder if this could be a sign of some other medical issue. What could be going on here?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
