Just like a bruise, it will take a while to go away.

It depends on the severity of the bleed and your body's ability to heal a bruise. I have had mild petechial hemorrhages with a stomach virus that cleared within two days. If your lips are very red and there is very little space between the petechiae then it could take up to two weeks to resolve.
