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

Hi,
From history it seems that there is infection took place inside of cheek due to teeth bite.
Give him one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ask him to do antiseptic lotion gargle.
Ok and take care.
