Whitish patch after cheek bite is normal healing process and normal wounds inside mouth heal very quickly. So don't worry.
Next Steps
Continue with the gel and warm saline rinse and avoid spicy food as adviced earlier.
Health Tips
If the whitish patch shows no change or is painful even after a week, you need to get a consult or visit your dentist.
