What can I do for a tiny, painful bump on my lower inner lip?

Asked by rory (1407points) January 20th, 2015

Three or four days ago my inner lower lip started stinging a lot. It happens especially when I smile, or move my mouth so my lower lip stretches back. My lower gums look inflamed, especially that sort of connecting thing between the lip and the gum in the center. Right by that connecting thing (I don’t know the actual word for it) on my inner lower lip is a tiny white sort of bump.

It stings and hurts and I’m not quite sure what to do about it—it’s hard for me to even brush my lower teeth effectively because it hits the spot and irritates it more.

Aside from waiting, what can I do?
