What Is The Cure For Swelling And White Color Inside Cheek After Biting The Cheek?

My son bit the inside of his cheek and now it s very swollen and there is a white area that is hard. His cheek and lips are quite swollen but he says it doesn t hurt. I had him rinse with salt water but the swelling hasn t gone down. The outside of his cheek is slightly red and warm to touch

Ask him to do antiseptic lotion gargle.
