Hi, I got in a car accident sat. night and I had to go into the er and get stitches all over the inside and outside of my mouth. My question is I am really swelled up and was wondering what I can do to get the swelling to go down other that ice, and I think my cuts are already infected what can I do about the infection?

U can mix a li'l water with hydrogen porxcide and swish it around in your mouth

For an infection you need to get on antibiotics. Please make a doctor's appointment to make sure this is what it is.

Peroxide, although I used to believe it would get rid of an infection in the mouth until I started nursing school, will do nothing to get rid of it.

If you suspect infection, please see your doctor.
