Hello Lina,
Thank you for the question.
Lip pain can occur due to abnormalities on the lips themselves, but can also be due to other factors. Not only sores or mouth sores, lip pain can also occur when your lips become irritated, such as when you are bitten or licked excessively, and after contacting toothpaste, mouthwash, food / drink, or certain cosmetics. In addition, the pain that you feel may also occur due to insect bites, viral / fungal infections / or other microorganisms (such as shingles, candidiasis, impetigo, Singapore flu), xerostomia, Behcet's disease, the influence of drugs, lack of nutrition, psychological disorders, nerve disorders, and so on.
If the pain is mild, you should not worry, and do not rush to see a doctor. Concerned, given the outbreak of COVID-19, actions like this will actually increase your chances of contracting the disease.
You can resolve your complaint first by:
Diligent bathing, washing your face, and brush your teeth to be clean Do not use toothpaste, mouthwash, or cosmetics around the lips that are irritating Do not over-eat foods that are spicy, oily, or make you allergic Increase the intake of foods containing zinc, magnesium, iron, and other nutrients Avoid the habit of licking or biting your lips Warm compresses on your sore lips Drinking water for at least 2 liters a day Do not drink or apply any medication Mild conditions will often improve within 1-3 days with the above efforts. It's just that, if the complaint is burdensome, skin rashes appear more spread, fever more than 3 days, swelling, asymmetrical mouth, and other serious complaints, still you need to check yourself directly to the doctor or dermatologist huh ..
I hope this helps.
