While your lip is swollen and sore, it is vulnerable to injury. Sponge it with water gently, several times a day or whenever it gets dirty. Do not pick at it or wipe it.  If the lip swelled after an injury, especially a fall, disinfect it with an antiseptic. If the lip is swollen due to a piercing, follow the advice from the person who did the procedure. Don't take the piercing in and out unnecessarily. Wash your hands before you handle it. Do not clean with rubbing alcohol, which can make it worse. Wrap ice in a towel, or use an ice pack from the freezer. Place it gently on your swollen lip. This will reduce swelling for a recent injury. After the first few hours, cold is not typically effective, except to relieve pain. If you don't have ice, freeze a spoon for 5-15 minutes and put that on your swollen lip. Alternatively, suck on a popsicle. After the initial swelling is done, warmth may encourage healing. Heat water until hot, but still cool enough to touch. Dip a towel in the water, then wring out the excess. Hold it to your lips for 10 minutes. Repeat once an hour, several times a day or until swelling reverses. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that decrease pain and swelling. The most common over-the-counter variants are acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Drink plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated and avoid further cracking or swelling. These treatments moisturize your lips, preventing further cracking and drying.  There are many ways to make your own lip balm. Try combining 2 parts coconut oil, 2 parts olive oil, 2 parts grated beeswax, and a few drops of essential oil for scent. In a pinch, just dab your lips with coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Avoid balms that contain camphor, menthol, or phenol. Use petroleum jelly sparingly, as it may cause health issues in large quantities, and may not add much additional moisture. Pressure can cause more injury and a lot more pain. Try to keep the bruised area free and exposed to air. If chewing food hurts, healing will take much longer. Replace some of your diet with healthy smoothies and protein shakes, through a straw. Stay away from salty, high-sodium foods, which can encourage swelling. In general, a healthy diet with enough vitamin and proteins may aid recovery. Avoid acidic foods, which may cause pain.
