biting lips

Hi, Yes,it happened to me sometimes while I am eating some food and of course, I was like jumping up and down because of the pain. I do remembered some old folks telling me,if you bite your own lip accidentally,it means your body is heaty. I am not sure how true it is. To cure the part of the lip that was bitten,apply petroleum jelly and drink plenty of water.

I have done that, it really hurts, but I bite the inside of my cheek more often that hurts a lot also. I use an over the counter antibiotic salve and it helps but this can only be used on the outside of the lips. I rinse my cheek with hot salt water it hurts but helps heal faster.

Ouch yes I have and it normally happens if I chew gum. I guess I chew so fast that somehow I catch my lip. So I have been in pain way too often that I rarely will chew any gum.

yeah if my bitting is not in proper action, it is very painful and sometimes hard to cure will take a week, but if sore the best medicine is salt scrabbing around the sore up to the blood coming, painful but effective. see you around

I have never bitten my lips but have bitten my gill.The moment the gill was bitten ,a blood blister came out.It hindered me from eating.If the blood blister was broken,It was usually infected then I should have a hard time of it.As soon as I had a meal It made me be in pain.It took me more than a week to recover from it.

Hi louievill, You're right, if you accidentally bitten your lips hurts.. I have experienced that several times before.. And I don't have any medicines or any kinds of method to treat.. All I do is to take a bath everyday and in few days it will be gone. It works for me, I hope it works for u too!

Yes I bite my and pick my lips lips often mostly I just skim the lips to pick off the little bits of skin. I don't bit them to to point of being painful. I have drawn blood but not usually. Actually since typing this I'm biting my lips now.

Hi Louievill, No i have not ever bitten off my lips even accidently but yes i have bitten off inside of my cheeks many a times. It has cut off my cheeks from inside and ulcers are formed. Yes it is painful and first thing to do is not eat spicy food because spices can cause pain in the ulcer and also there are many lotions and creams are available which would numb your ulcer for say 15 to 20 mins, and you can easily eat in that time.

I think this happens to everyone accidentally. So with biting the tongue,it really hurts. This happens to me few time already and ohh,it does hurts too much,and would uncomfortable to eat with.

I have experienced the same thing too in the past. I accidentally bite my lips when I eat and when I eat so fast that I get to bite my inner lips. It's painful but I usually just drink lots of water. I don't do anything with it but it reminds me to be careful the next time around.

i just don't do anything each time i bite my lips and it will always get better the next day.

When I accidentally bite my lips I just let it heal by itself. This process takes about three days for me to bear the pain of a bruised lip. This also serves a warning to my body to alert my brain in the future for me not to bite my lips because it would surely cause pain.

It was happened to me before and it was bleeding so i get an ice cubes and put it on my lips but there sitll pain especially when eating therefore untill to healed i wont eat sour food or salty food to lessen the pain.

Biting your mouth is painful because you have tons of nerve endings there that transmit the pain to your brain. I agree with an above post - a warm mixture of salt and water rinsed in the mouth should help heal it, it may sting if you do it however.

hi louievill I think we all have done that occasionally and it really does hurt. I dab a little hydrogen peroxide diluted a bit on with a swab and it both kills bacteria and helps with the pain. what I hate is when I do that then it swells and I do it again. ouch.oragel used for toothache pain also stops the pain at once but numbs it a bit. I have used that too as its safe to use.there are a lot of nerves in our lips more than in most places on our bodies.

Sure Louievill, I´ve done! It´s really painful. I just leave it heal alone. But if ever it get worst I use isodine in a cotton during the night =) Blessings!... Dainy

Not lips but my tongue. The worst happened a few monts ago, we were eating andoks and while talking i bit by tongue really really hard it went numb. I thought it was severed since it bleed a lot. I didn't let my friends know about it but i lost all appetite that day. I look at the mirror and there's a black line a few centimemters from the tip, where the teeth marked. I think the numbness stayed for a few days.

Yes I have bitten my lip before and yes it does hurt. What I do more often is bite the inside of my cheek when I'm eating and that hurts also. It makes it harder to eat. I would rather bump my leg than bite my lip or cheek.

yes, many times. I did not cure if that happened, the pain is there but after several hours, the pain will disappear, no big deal. Maybe, you eat too much, my friend. My advise is, eat slowly and don't be always in a hurry while eating even if you are busy in doing some computer works. Regards to you and your lovely wife.
