[|AI|]  Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns but don't worry. The most important thing is prevention of any further cold exposure. So, move to warmer climate if possible. For treating frost bite which has occurred, you may take the following measures:1. Warm lip by applying cloth or gauze dipped in warm water. Avoid repeated cold - thaw cycles as they are more damaging.2. Give a painkiller such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen every 6-8 hourly to relieve pain.3. In case the injury is deep, then consult a plastic surgeon immediately for care and management required as per the intensity of damage. Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you any further questions. Take care
