White inside cheek
Hi!
I found this white thing inside my cheek this morning, had this happen a week ago too.
Been feeling dry inside my inner lips.
Could this be oral thrush?
I was able to take out the white string, there was a small wound under it

It's due to chronic cheek biting. Apply dologel to relieve pain. Wisdom teeth has to be removed if necessary. You can consult through this for further details
