Definitely, especially as he can’t eat or drink.

Lips do swell.a lot when bumped, try freezing a damp flannel and giving hi m that to suck on. If youre worried though call 111 and they can advise ou what to do.

Poor love, hope he feels better soon

If he can't drink then yes, defo off to the doctor or hospital, especially if the swelling is getting worse.
