Is it serious if a child has a ruptured lip?

Children are very lively and active. If we don't pay attention to taking care of them, they may bump into things and cause accidental injuries. Once this happens, it will affect more than just the child. Children often break their lips. Is it serious if a child breaks his lips? What should we do?

Please don't worry about this! Let me tell you about my daughter's broken lip, maybe it will be helpful to you.

The little girl is now twenty-two months old, a little older than your baby. Last month, he fell down around noon one day and hit his lower lip on the edge of the armrest of a spring-autumn chair. When he was picked up, his mouth was full of blood, which also flowed onto his clothes. He cried for two minutes. After a while I coaxed her to sleep. I flipped up her lower lip and took a look while she was sleeping. It was so heartbreaking. The cut was almost one centimeter long, and the tender flesh was curled up and almost seeped through. But the wound was very clean and there was no dirt. I didn't do anything. After waking up, she cried out in pain from time to time, so I gently opened her lower lip and blew on her twice. This method can reduce some of the pain. There will be some effects when you eat that night, but it’s okay, don’t force yourself to eat. Drink some water after eating to avoid leaving any residue on the wound. It was still a little painful the next day, but better than the first day. When I checked again at noon, the wound seemed to be smaller and the edges were a little white. On the third day, there was basically no impact. The wound was no longer everted and was smaller. On the fourth night, the wound was as big as a grain of rice and covered with a layer of white film. At this time, for the little girl, it was as if she had never had the meal before and she ate as she pleased. I didn’t see a doctor after that, and I don’t know when I got completely better.

So don't worry, it will only take three or four days. Pay attention to the baby's wounds and check whether the baby's teeth are damaged. The flesh on human lips is commonly known as "elephant meat". It stops bleeding and heals quickly, so there is no need to worry too much. Maybe by the time you see this answer, your baby will be much better. I wish you a healthy and lovely guy!!

Therefore, it is very hard to take care of children at ordinary times, because we have to pay attention all the time and not let the children get hurt. However, once an accident unfortunately happens, we must immediately take measures to deal with it and take the children to treat the wounds. Only in this way can we minimize the child’s pain.
