Daughter cut inside of lip & now its swollen & painful - help!

[chlobo]

Anyone want to take a crack at this?

On Tuesday night, DD was running in the kitchen and slipped & did a face plant. she cut her upper lip pretty badly. We immediately put ice on it and I gave her calendula & arnica (pills). The next morning her lip looked great and there were no complaints. Fast forward to Friday, she was complaining that her lip hurt. Woke up at 1am and said it hurt. I gave her calendula & arnica again & she went back to sleep.

This morning, her lip is really swollen & she has what looks like a canker sore where she cut her lip (on the inside).

Any thoughts on treatment? Should I take her to the Dr. to make sure it isn't infected?

Does she have a fever? If she has increasing pain and fever I'd be very concerned about secondary infection. No fever--just pain I don't know! I'd probably get a check if things aren't better through the day/get worse.

edited to add: I see swelling too/I missed that the first time. I'd probably get a check just in case.
