If you accidentally bite your lip, it’s important to eat bland, mild foods during the healing period and avoid spicy or irritating foods. You may consider taking a multivitamin B supplement. For deep wounds, suturing may not be necessary; similarly, shallow wounds typically do not require sutures either. However, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. You may use Qingdai Powder or metronidazole as appropriate.
