Medically Reviewed by Dr. Yashica Y Ruffin, MD, MPH

Lips accentuate your physical appearance by differing in color from the rest of your facial skin. The lips have a few layers of skin underneath and a rich supply of blood that gives them their distinct pinkish-purple color.

Lips are a window to the expression of your thoughts with every smile and frown being physically expressed by a movement of the lips. Healthy lips can go days without being a thing to worry about.

A swollen or enlarged lip, on the other hand, is both embarrassing and painful. Accompanied by cuts and bruises, a swollen lip can cause difficulty eating, drinking, talking, or simply opening your mouth.

A swollen lip is usually a result of an injury or shock to the soft tissues of the lips caused by dryness, nutritional deficiencies, dental issues, dehydration, insect bite, or use of poor-quality lip care products.[2]

  • Touch sensitivity
  • Chapped lips
  • Soreness in lips
  • Flushed red appearance of the lips
  • Cracked skin
  • Burning sensation
  • If the swollen lips are caused by an environmental allergy, the condition can be accompanied by sneezing, wheezing, hives, and a stuffy nose

    1. Fever
    2. Headache

Tips and Remedies to Treat a Swollen Lip at Home

In a severe case of a swollen lip, consider a medical review. Although you can use over-the-counter or prescribed medications to treat it, you can also use home remedies that are an excellent solution to heal a swollen lip.

1. Apply Cold Compress

One of the best ways to suppress a swollen lip is by applying a cold compress, particularly when the reason is lip piercing.

  1. Use a clean washcloth or a paper towel to wrap some ice cubes. Alternatively, you can use a cold spoon or a bag of frozen peas.
  2. Gently press the cold compress onto the swollen area for 10 minutes, take a break, and repeat the application until you get relief from the discomfort and swelling.
Note: Avoid direct application of ice over your lips as this can result in mild frostbite.

2. Massage Using Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel is a trusted remedy for a swollen lip. It is used widely as a relaxant and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that can ease the swelling and soothe the lips of the burning sensation.[4]

To pacify a swollen lip caused by insect or mosquito bites or some kind of allergic reaction, apply aloe vera gel.

  1. Extract aloe vera gel from a leaf and apply it on the affected lip.
  2. Gently massage the gel on the lip until the gel gets absorbed.
  3. Repeat the application two to three times a day.

3. Use Black Tea Bag

The copious amount of tannins in black tea has excellent astringent properties that can reduce the swelling in the soft tissues of the lips.[5]

  1. Soak a black tea bag in warm water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the tea bag from the water and let it cool.
  3. Gently apply the cooled tea bag over the swollen lip for 10 minutes.
  4. Repeat the application several times a day for quick results.

4. Apply Honey to the Affected Area

The natural healing and antibacterial properties of honey are well known to the man on the street. Honey can be used to treat your swollen lips by reducing inflammation and decreasing swelling and pain.

Being an emollient, honey will also keep your lips moisturized and prevent further infection.[6]

  1. Dip a cotton ball in 1 teaspoon of honey.
  2. Apply it on the affected lip and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Rinse the area with cold water.
  4. Repeat the application two to three times a day.

5. Coat the Area with Turmeric Paste

Containing an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory compound called curcumin, turmeric can be used to heal a swollen lip. The antiseptic properties of turmeric reduce the chances of further infection.[7]

  1. Combine a pinch of turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of fuller’s earth. Mix in enough cold water until you achieve a paste-like consistency. Apply the mixture on the affected lip.
  2. Keep it for some time.
  3. Using lukewarm water, rinse your lips and pat them dry.
  4. Repeat the application twice daily.

6. Baking Soda can be Beneficial

Baking soda is recommended to reduce the pain and inflammation of a swollen lip caused by an insect or mosquito bite, an allergic reaction, or a fever blister.[8]

  1. Mix 3 teaspoons of baking soda with enough water to form a thick paste.
  2. Apply the paste on the affected lip. Leave it until it dries.
  3. Rinse it off with cold water and pat your lip dry
  4. Repeat the application a few times a day.

7. Dab Salt Water Solution

The disinfectant properties of salt can help you heal a swollen lip due to a sore, cuts, or lesions by killing the germs that may lead to an infection.

Salt has chemical properties that contribute to wound healing.[9]

  1. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in 1 cup of slightly warm water.
  2. Use a cotton ball to dab the solution gently on the cut. Initially, there will be a stinging sensation, but this remedy will be very useful in healing the cut and bringing down the swelling.
  3. Do this once or twice a day.

8. Soothe with Tea Tree Oil

Blessed with a host of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, tea tree oil is an effective ingredient for a swollen lip caused by a cut or a laceration.[10]

  • Use a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil to dilute the tea tree oil. Apply it on your lips to retain moisture as well as to disinfect them. Rinse it off after 30 minutes.
  • Alternatively, you can mix a few drops of tea tree oil and 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel. Apply a small amount of this mixture on the lips. Gently massage your lips for a few minutes. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it off. Repeat the application two to three times a day.

Note:

  • Always dilute tea tree oil.
  • Avoid using tea tree oil on children.
  • In case of irritation, rinse the affected area immediately.

9. Place a Warm Compress on the Affected Region

Applying a hot compress encourages blood flow to the swollen area and this can aid in reducing the inflammation and pain on the swollen lip.

warm compress

  1. Use a heating pad or a washcloth soaked in warm water.
  2. Apply it over your lip for 10 minutes.
  3. Repeat the application a few times a day.

For best results, you can alternate the use of cold and hot compresses every 3-4 hours.

Note: Avoid using a warm compress on injured skin.

10. Try Witch Hazel

The astringent, wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties of witch hazel make it an ideal remedy to reduce the swelling, soothe the pain, and resolve the lesion that is the cause of your swollen lip.[11]

witch hazel

  1. Mix 1 tablespoon of witch hazel and a ½ tablespoon of salt.
  2. Use a cotton ball to apply the mixture on the swollen lip. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse the area with cold water and pat your lips dry.
  4. Repeat the application as needed.

When to See a Doctor

Although most cases of a swollen lip tend to go away on their own, it can also be a symptom of an allergic reaction and requires a proper line of treatment.

A case of a swollen lip triggered by an allergen attack can cause dire consequences if not treated properly. Severe symptoms include hives, sneezing, wheezing, and swelling of the tongue or mouth, which can be a fatal result of an anaphylactic shock.

Such a condition requires an accurate diagnosis to analyze the condition, identify the cause of concern, and prevent future mishappenings.

If you suspect an insect bite or an animal sting, it is best to go for a medical review to avoid any infection.

Final Word

A slight deformity in the lips can leave you embarrassed of your looks. Swollen lips can be caused by either allergic reactions or minor lacerations and injuries.

Swelling of the lips warrants medical attention if triggered by an allergic reaction to evaluate the underlying cause of concern.

While swelling of the lips is an unpleasant condition, there are several strategies right out of your home that can help you get relief from the discomfort.

Along with these natural treatments, avoid allergy triggers and eat a healthy and balanced diet rich in vitamins to promote healing. If the swelling is recurrent and does not seem to resolve, seek professional help promptly.

    Great advice ice cubes did the trick

    • Sally says:

      I would never recommend using ice on a bumped lip, even wrapped in anything. My daughter had an ice pack applied to her lip last week for a bump at school and it was too cold. She is now having to use anticortisone cream and antibiotics to treat it as it is very inflamed and sore. I’ve been told on a few first aid courses to avoid putting anything cold onto bumped lips as it can cause mild frost bite. Better to use a cool paper towel, flannel or offer a cool drink!

    I was at Walmart where I bought a cup of unsweet tea
    at their McDonald shop, before I left the store, my lip
    began to swell. I visited the ER at the local hospital
    and was given a shot of prednisolone and a
    prescription to follow until I visited my primary
    provider. So far my swelling has gone down some.

      Was the cup polystyrene with some sort of soft, almost rubbery paint for the label? Because I had a reaction after using a different type of disposable cup at work.

    • Kris says:

      The constant damage to the tissue has caused you to have scar tissue. It would eventually heal IF YOU LEAVE IT ALONE. You are coupling scar tissue with new trauma to the area. Scar tissue takes a while to “grow out” but eventually does. Stop causing damage to the area and it will slowly but surely produce new skin to replace the old, affected skin.

  30. Orenda says:
    6 years ago

    While the use of ice to reduce swelling is widespread, it is many a time done incorrectly. The use of a bare ice cube on a swollen area for a prolonged period of time can lead to natural damages from cold, or partial frostbite. What I recommend is that you go get a zip-lock bag, or a paper towel or two and wrap it around some ice cubes, you can then press this to the swollen area to reduce inflammation without harmful side affects.

    I have never had problems with swollen lips or bumps on my lips until eating too many crunchy Cheetos several weeks ago – Now it seems like my lips have become sensitive to many things and I haven’t figured out what it is for sure. I used Polysporin on my lips but it didn’t help much and then tried coconut oil without much help – The Turmeric has taken some of the swelling down.

    thanku very much, 🙂 the cold compressor (ice) really worked very much. I applied for 10 to 15 mins just now. So much relief. I will repeat this again afternoon or in between. i will try tea bag too.. i have this problem from childhood. ..

    I also did suffer from swollen lips, eyes etc – specially every day when i woke up in the morning. Got all blood tests done, visited the best specialists – no result – no allergies. However observed my diet & only thing i could conclude it was due to eating “Maida ” viz finely milled refined and bleached wheat flour.

    Finally having no option switched to herbal treatment – drink a glass of warm Neem leaves water ( only few leaves boiled in water & kept to cool for 15 minutes ) , it worked miracles for me.

    held a cold spoon to my bottom lip as I have a habit of biting it took a total of 48mins for it to lose the swelling up to where you couldn’t visibly tell. held it for another half hour and its back to normal.

    It just worked in a half hour to cure my lip swelling. I got a much relief doing it. I was able to sleep at night gently.

      My lips are getting bigger with every passing hr. Both! Some sort of allergic reaction to antibiotic, ( doxycycline) for bacterial pneumonia! At least best I can figure… don’t know of anything else I’ve used or done differently. :/ unless it’s the different no name kleenex (kirklands) from coughing up and spitting out in it …:/ at any rate Tylenol hardly helped nor did benadryl. :/ going now to try aloe pant (cold) keep you all posted!!

    I had a really bad allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. The ice one worked well, but the next day it was swollen again, to the same exact size!

    Few days ago, I ate couple of peanuts. The next days, I felt a small bump of my lower lips. My dad later told me that it is a tiny pimples. That day or the second day, I burst the pimples. Few days later I ate some more peanuts, I had a little bit of a swollen lips. Last night, I slept face down and now my lips is super duper big. Now I fully know that I am allergic to peanuts. I would try some of the suggestion that I found in this site.
