My 3 year old brother has fallen & busted his lip open, and it has swollen his lips terribly.. what should we do?
What you should do is soke his lips in saly water(1/4 teaspoon of salt) then add water. It cleans the germs and helps heal faster. It MAY burn but that lets you know its working.
Hi there,
These things tend to happen to children. You have to understand that in most cases this is not dangerous and the swelling will go away after few days. It is a normal reaction because your lips suffer a great deal of pressure when you hit them and the body reacts like this. In my opinion if the swelling stays for longer period of time, that your parents should take your brother to the doctor to see if the wound is not infected. In some cases he might need some stitches if there are any big cuts on the lips. I hope that this was helpful in any way.
All the best,
Danella
