I've seen this happen a couple of times... I would keep him in QT until the lips heal. I've had mine hurt her lips during catch/transfer process to the DT and she didn't make it because I opted not to go fishing and stress everyone out. Seeing as the fish is already in QT you might as well keep it where you can keep a closer eye on things and make sure he keeps eating.
+1 to what George said, wait a little before medicating with anti-bacterial. Pristine water quality is also super important when it comes to infection.
