Suggest Remedy To Keep From Biting Cheek From Inside

I bit the inside of my cheek with my wisdom tooth a few days ago. My cheek skin still get between my teeth when I eat or close my mouth. Which then causes me to bite it again. It's getting to the point where I've bitten it so many times on accident that it hurts to touch it, brush my teeth, and eat or drink. There's no puss or hot to touch kind of thing. But it does hurt. How can I take care of it so I don't keep biting it and re-injuring it? I would like for it to heal.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the repeated trauma, resulting in an ulcer over the growth which has created by repeated cheek bite. It can occurs because of the sharp tooth also. So consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If there is a growth, then get that removed (aperculectomy or excision of the growth) or get the sharp tooth rounded off.
Mean while you can take topical anesthetic an danalgesic like lignocaine and choline salicylate. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
