Healing Of Wounds On The Lips After An Accident?
amualaikum Doctor….rnI want to share my experience. How many weeks ago I had an accident. Then my face immediately fell on the ground on my forehead and chin and I tore and sewed 2 stitches and my lips were torn because when I fell I bit my lip until it ripped a little. But now my torn lips and flesh are reunited. But I wonder Why did my left lip swell a little when I brought it? If I smile, my lips are still swollen. What is the effect of my lip wound or the wound under my black lip has not healed completely? What are the ways to get rid of the stitches and swollen lips? I asked for a solution from the doctor
1 Answer:
Hello, Citra. Wound healing due to injury is influenced by:
wound care factor
nutritional factors.
In wounds that are sutured (hecting), usually the wound will heal in 3-7 days. During that time, it is hoped that you will treat the wound well, in terms of cleanliness and be diligent in taking the medicine given by the doctor. Wounds that occur as a result of injury will cause bleeding, edema (swelling), bruising, tearing, and so on. What happens under your lip may still be a swollen part from the injury. To remove the stitch marks will usually go away on its own over time. Because the skin has a special ability to regenerate (change) so it will change. Meanwhile, for swollen lips that occur, it must be checked by a doctor to see the form of swelling that occurs. My advice, you should check back with your doctor so that treatment can be assessed and so on. If necessary, the doctor may give additional drugs or other actions.
