Suggest Remedy For Painful Mouth Ulcer Inside Cheeks
21 years old, 5'6'', 203lbs, average medical history.
I have, what I think is a mouth ulcer. I tend to get them often as I have the unfortunate habit of chewing my cheeks. However, this most recent one is on a much larger scale and hurts horribly. Usually I just deal with them and wait for them to go away, but this time, it is so big it takes up the entire inside of my cheeks, and causes my jaw bone to ache all the way down. The entire left side of my face is sore because of this, and I can barely open my mouth to eat because of the pain. Please Help!

Hello thanks for queiry.it might be traumatic ulcer. Do you have sharp teeth surface?? They might cause repeated cheek bites.so you should consult asap an oral medicine specialist. You could blow air with mouth closed so that teeth surface doesnt touch your cheek mucosa.. Also apply topical anesthetics to reduce pain.. Also get teeth surface trimmed..hope it helps..tc
