What Causes White Raised Area Inside Cheek In Kid?
Hi, my three year old daughter has been a bit out of sorts and appears to be uncomfortable in her mouth. It seems she has all her teeth so can't be teething but I noticed a small white raised dry area on the inside of her cheek. The outside of her cheek is often red and hot too. What could it be?

It seems like a case of cheek biting. Start your child on warm saline mouth rinses 3-4 times a day. Also she could apply mucopain gel on the area before eating.
Make sure she spits it out and doesnt ingest the gel. Start on her a multivitamin syrup once daily. If this doesnt resolve in a week to ten days or any new symptoms show up, its advisable to see a pediatric dentist/ maxillofacial surgeon.
