Asked By:ilovemymanuel in Albuquerque, NM

My daughter,11, In the photo this is the "normal" way it looks but early in the morning the swelling is so big her lip sometimes bleeds. It gets darker and very hot. Is this dangerous and is there a procedure to fix all of this? If there is what does cost normally look like?
