And for non-medicos, it’s ok if you have a normal swelling… as it subsides within few days or reduce after some medication. Hope she gets better soon.” Another person asked, “Root canal ya lip surgery gone wrong?” One said, “This swelling is completely normal and temporary, just because it’s being sensationalised, don’t be alarmed.”
