I got bored and yanked this bit of dry skin off my lip now it has swollen like a tree trunk, how would I make the swelling go down?

I’ve tried a bag of frozen chips, then a single chip between my lips so I can type, it’s gone down a bit but I want it all to go down.

Ice and ibuprofen should bring the swelling down most of the way. If they don’t fix it completely, you are just going to have to wait. It will shrink over time.

i dont think smoking in btw will do you any good with keepin the swelling down when it starts to really decrease then you can enjoy your smoke but i’d wait

also if you smoke depending on how big the swelling is i dont think that would be wise when it comes to inhale and exhale

stinging you’ll get through just keep 20 on 20 off you can actually have more than 20 off if the stinging worsens to a point you cant bare any think when the swelling goes down you can have one of those smoking sticks if you want.

oh 2 against 1 dogs are amazing cats fun for road kill cause you can keep running over them and then they pop up and you can do it again :]
