What Causes Swelling Inside The Cheek?

I have a swollen inside cheek. When I moved it around, a space opened, and some things keep coming out of the space. They are somewhat hard, squishy whitish small masses. Could that be infection coming out? Every time I remove some pieces, there are more in the space in my cheek

Hi, thank your for asking on HCM!

Have you had any trauma of your cheek before? Have you bitten it accidentally? If something like that has happened it might be infected. Otherwise something else may have caused the swelling of inside cheek. You have to see a doctor at your healthcare center to take a look in your mouth and cheek, and he will make a better suggestion.
Take care!
Dr Eriol.
