Why Does the Lower Inner Cheek in My Mouth Hurt?
Pain on the lower inner wall of the mouth may be related to physiological and pathological factors, such as oral ulcers, gingivitis, and other diseases, which can be treated with medication.
Consuming hard and overly hot food frequently may irritate the oral mucosa, causing pain. Generally, it is not particularly severe. It is recommended to maintain a reasonable diet, try to eat more bland food, and reduce local irritation.
Oral Ulcers: Oral ulcers may be caused by vitamin deficiency and bacterial infection. They may occur on the inner wall of the mouth, causing local pain accompanied by redness and swelling. Treatment can include the use of oral ulcer powder, amoxicillin capsules, and other medications prescribed by a doctor.
Gingivitis: Gingivitis is caused by irritation from dental plaque or calculus, which may lead to swollen and painful gums and pain on the inner wall of the mouth. Treatment may involve taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, and cephalosporins, as recommended by the doctor. The cause may also be oral herpes, for which appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a bland diet and avoid spicy food.
