[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. From the description of your query, I understand that the inside of the cheek of your child is cut as it is scratched by something she put i her mouth. In addition, some scratch is present even on the outside of the cheek. If the inside of the cheek is cut, she might develop an ulcer AAT that place which are very painful. Having food can also be difficult in such situation due to burning and pain felt inside. I would advise you to apply local Endocrine gel (McCoppin) to the area where the oral cavity is cut for faster healing. It should be applied 3-4 times a day. If you apply it before meals, she will have relief in burning while having food. It might take about a week for complete healing. If the outside of the cheek is scratched and the injury is not major, do not worry about it. Just clean the area with antiseptic such as Detail and let it heal on its own in a week. Child Chat Doctor.  However, if she develops pain, fever, the area swells or bleeds, then a pediatrician should be seen as these are the signs of infection to the injured area. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter recovers soon. Best,
