Ok so I just had some teeth pulled yesterday and while my mouth was numb I unknowingly bit the inside of my lip and then it was bleeding and stuff. Now the bleeding stopped, but the top-left lip (or whatever you call it) it all swollen. What should I do to fix this? Can it be fixed?

I wudnt worry - that always happens when sumone bites their lip. Putting ice on it will help ease the pain and swelling, then it will eventually sort itself out, bodies are great like that!

Ice massage
Place clean tap water into a foam cup and place in your freezer until it is completely frozen. Peel back a small amount of the top of the cup and massage this onto area of pain using constant circular motion. DO NOT hold the ice in one area for more than 3 minutes since this may cause frostbite. Cold therapy should be stopped once the skin feels numb.
I also suggest you contact the surgeon and ask what can be done.
