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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm on an antibiotic course for a tooth cavity issue, and due to the lockdown, the dentists can't do any root canal procedures. They've given me Augmentin 625 Duo, Ultracet, and Pan D to take for the meantime. But now, after 24 hours, I'm starting to feel feverish. Could any of these medications be causing the fever?
It is unlikely that these drugs would cause fever. The fever might be due to your tooth infection. If the fever persists or becomes high grade, please consult your dentist.
