yes..i supposed i could've asked without the details..but i thought it was funny. Because my bf is not abusive. He wont even kill an ant. But it's sad that people would assume that this is abuse, it just means that there's many abused women out there. Well thanks for you suggestions for the busted lip. =)

Keep it clean and use some polysporin

Are you sure this was an accident and this question is not a cry for help? Because you could have just easily asked how to prevent a busted lip from becoming a canker sore without the story. The first step to an abusive relationship is to get help.
Anyway, there really is not much you can do except put ice over it and hope it doesn't swell up. Would look like you cut your lips but not much more. Unfortunately, different people bruise differently. Just ice and possibly an ointment for cut lips.

A canker is from a virus such as herpes, childhood chickenpox or measles. If you've never had any of those cankers are very, very rare. You can't get one from a split lip. Just ice it to keep the swelling down and use some Blistex to for a few days keep it from getting infected

The split lip has nothing to do with a canker sore developing. Just keep it moist and clean. You'll be fine!

If you have any type of antibacterial ointment place on lip 3- times daily.

Not helpful, but...
I remember going to sleep with on of my ex-gfs on my arm. I was dreaming about being in a fight. During the fight I clotheslined someone, and in the real world launched my ex-gf's head forward off of the bed! Scared the crap out of her.

Tape some foam to his elbows before it gets any worse. Rip off the tape for fun.
