The inside of my cheek has been hurting on and off for two weeks. I did not bite the inside of my cheek, but thats what it feels like, and its a little sensitive to hot and salty foods. I havent eaten anything new, and I changed my toothbrush in case that was the cause.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Cheek pain can be due to various reasons like burn from something you eat or unintentional biting or mouth sore or some medicine side effect, tooth or gum disease etc. Is it located to one particular site only? Check if there is some red or gray white area on cheek. This would be dermatitis or mouth ulcer. This will take 2-3 weeks for healing. Have you had fever recently? Check if there is infection in surrounding tooth or gum. Its treatment is required then. Take multivitamin A to Z one capsule every day for 2 weeks. Take healthy diet rich in iron, vitamins. Maintain good oral hygiene. Apply Lidocaine gel before eating to reduce burning. If it persists or worsen, visit a dentist. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
