You seem to have developed ulceration of the cheek mucosa because of biting. Usually it is a painful condition which may last for few days before it heals. You may need to take painkillers for few days. Local antiseptic gel application may also be helpful
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
