Suggest Treatment For Child Having Pain And Redness In Cheek

My six year old daughter bit her cheek she says yesterday but now it is so red it is almost black in color. She says it is tender but I ve never seen a sore of this color and it is quite large. Any suggestions. She was just at the dentist last month with no issues.

Hi,
It seems that due to cheek bite there might be having good amount of trauma with formation of hematoma inside producing black bruise swelling.
Apply ice pack out side.
Give her one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Give her liquid and light food for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
