    I was playing basket ball and I caught an elbow flush in the mouth...my lip is swollen pretty bad. Other than ice does anyone have a home remedy or over the counter drug to help the swelling? I got my bell rung pretty bad...I called my wife and she said I wasn't my normal self on the phone (perhaps a mild concussion). I have a wedding to go to on Sat. and I look like sh**!
    I've been using ice but not getting much success. :(

    Nope. By Saturday, the constant application of ICE should bring the swelling down. There is nothing else to be done here, Mr. Bond. Or shall I say... Mr. Powers...? :cool:

    Perfect opportunity for:
    "I ain't see this dude's brother standing behind me.
    And he has seen Rocky too.
    And he swung around my back and punched me in the mouth...real, real hard.
    Because the punch said:
    And my ego said, 'What was that?!'
    I said, 'I don't know.'
    And my lip said, 'Hey, fellas!
    So I'm standing there with my lips hanging down, looking like J.J. From Good Times and ****." :D

    Put some salt on it and squeeze lime juice or lemon juice on it.

    He's going to a wedding this weekend and doesn't want to look like he has an STD. I don't think that's too unreasonable.
