Dr. Zhang Liwen
Swollen lips in children, if caused by excessive internal heat, inflammation, or infections leading to oral ulcers, can be managed by avoiding spicy and irritating foods, drinking more water, and consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits. It is important to stay warm and avoid cold foods. Gargling with mild salt water may help. Additionally, roxithromycin and Pudilan oral liquid can be taken as needed.
