| For refief from acute swelling, there really isn't anything better than ice. Causes vasoconstriction and decreases edema fluid and inflammation. Vit E is very good for soft tissues healing and preventing scar tissue. Plastic surgeons have been using it for years. I don't like to take a systemic medication just to treat the lips. Put an ice cube wrapped in a papper towel on them for about 15 minutes. Ice is the sports medicine doctor's miracle drug. |
