Have pain and bump in lower lip. Using braces. How to avoid this?
Patient: Hello I was a the the orthodontist and I was getting fitted for braces and the orthodontist stretched my lip very far and then all of a sudden I felt this pain in my lower lip. After I was done I looked I'm the mirror and I had this big red bump on my lip. It's not a pimple though because it's on my lip. What should I do to get rid of it? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe trauma that you experience to the lip would have caused an inflammatory reaction that would cause the swelling or bump that you are seeing.It will resolve on its own. The use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, cataflam, aspirin, naproxen, celebrex, may speed up the process .I hope this helps
