hello i have what seems to be a small gash in the inside of my mouth where perhaps i cut or bit into my cheek. And it hurts, i took a flashlight to it to see what it was and it had a almost white film to it, it really hurt though so i kinda messed with it and then used mouth wash to kill bacteria. what can i do to help it along? will it get infected? ive had it for a few days
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the cheek can be because of the traumatic ulcer with a pseudomembrane. This has occurred secondary to cheek biting by the teeth. Nothing to be panic, you can apply topical anesthetic agents like lidocaine and topical analgesics like choline salicylate. This will heal in 5 to 7 days time. You can continue to use mouth wash. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
