What should I do if my baby’s lip is cracked and swollen?

If the damage to your baby’s lip is small, apply a cold compress followed by a hot compress and apply a wound healing ointment. If the damage is serious, go to the hospital for suturing.
1. Smaller lip damage: If the baby’s lip damage is small, you can first apply cold compresses to stop the bleeding, and then apply hot compresses after 48 hours to accelerate blood circulation and promote the absorption of hematoma, and you can apply growth factor gel on the damaged area to accelerate wound healing.
2. Large lip damage: large lip damage, such as the upper lip has obvious cracks, upper lip system has broken or fracture, etc., to immediately go to the hospital for suturing, otherwise it is easy to bleed, swelling, infection and so on.
Note: Parents should watch over their babies, and the corners of furniture should be wrapped to avoid injury to the baby.
