Bump on my inner lip
Hi there.
A few days ago I thought a had an ucler on my inner lower lip cause I had some irritation. But then I realised that I had something like a bump, which was just tissue, no wound or something.
I have pain only when i bite it while eating, and slight pain when it rubs on my teeth.
It's been approximately a week, and now it looks like the photo.
Do you think it's anything serious? What should I do?
I am getting stressed.
Info about me:
27F, 52kg and 153cm
No current medication. Started recently taking omega 3 supplements, low dose iron and magnesium.
Currently non smoker. I smoked in the past and stopped 3 years ago but I was never a heavy smoker.

Teeth whitening and antibiotics
I (29F) bought teeth whitening from my dentist but I got sick with bronchitis before I started it. I am on antibiotics (cefuroxime) and the teeth whitening is Opalescence 16%.
Can I start the whitening while I am on antibiotics? It's been 2 weeks since I bought the kit and I really want to start it but I am not sure if I should wait to finish the antibiotics. No other medications.
I called my dentist to ask but she didn't pick up the phone.

Refusal to feed
I’m literally losing my mind over my baby’s feeding refusal. She’s almost 6 months old and around 7kg, and this has been going on for almost 3 months now.
Everything was perfect until she was around 3 months old. That’s when feeding suddenly became difficult, and now she almost completely refuses to eat unless she’s gone hours without feeding. Even then, she’ll usually only drink 20-30 ml before refusing the bottle completely.
For some context: she’s been on AR formula since she was 3 weeks old because of silent reflux. Before all this started, everything was going great with the AR formula and she was thriving. The only things that changed around that time were her vaccines and the fact that she caught COVID at 3 months old, although she recovered from it pretty easily.
This is how she reacts during feeds:
She absolutely will not feed if I hold her in my arms anymore, even if I’m walking around with her.
The only way she’ll drink is either in her stroller or lying on the couch with pillows elevating her upper body.
If I try feeding her in my arms, she immediately refuses the bottle.
She’ll drink a little, then suddenly turn her head away and stop.
After burping, she refuses to continue.
Because her intake is so low, the only way I can sometimes get her to keep drinking is by distracting her with a toy.
During and after feeds, she groans, turns red, and seems really uncomfortable.
She also has somel spit-ups every day, and sometimes it’s undigested formula.
I’m exhausted. Our entire life revolves around trying to get her to eat, and I feel helpless because I don’t know what’s causing this or how to help her if she’s in pain. She really seems hungry (and she surely is) but doesn't want to feed. The last few days her total intake per 24h is 400-500ml with huge effort. This morning was the first morning she had no wet diaper 😭
Has anyone experienced anything similar with their baby? Am I missing something here?
I would appreciate any advice.
