Red Raised Bumps Inside Cheeks, At Wisdom Tooth Removal Site. Throat Hurts On Swallowing. Dentist Visit Required?

Hello. I have had these two reddish color, slightly raised at the bottom, bumps on the inside of my cheeks (1 on each side) with what apear to be cheek bites underneath. The "cheek bites" are white in color and slightly raised from the surface of the skin. It just looks like a white line in my mouth. At first I thought it was an irratation from my retainers, but it has been about 2 months now and they still havent gone away. I went to my doctor and he gave me some medicine for the bumps but they still havent completely gone away. They look better in appearance, (they are not as red now) but that's about all it did. Recently, I noticed that my throat hurts upon swallowing and an awkward feeling when food goes down my throat. I'm starting to get a little worried. In addition, the area around my last bottom tooth (just before the flap of skin from the removal of my wisdom teeth are) looks like it has a small yellow bump on it as well. It has become a little difficult to eat of that side of my mouth. I am a 17 year old female, btw. What do you think it is? Should I go to my dentist and have them look at it?

Hi, thank you for communicating with us for your problem, as you have mentioned that you have been noticing the white line or the cheek bite in your mouth since two months and after taking medication also it is not going off there is no need to take tension about that because in some people where the cusp of the teeth are slightly prominent they tend to make a mark on the both the cheeks which as called as linea alba in medical terms but if you have some habit of taking areca nut,guthka or pan masala then you need to take care of it leave the habit and visit a good dentist. The hurting of throat is not related to this it seems you have some throat infection and the yellow bump which is present on the area of your tooth can be an aphthous ulcer or traumatic ulcer, you just apply an ointment named Mucopainit will heal within 1 week if not then visit your dentist nearby.
