Pain on inside (and outside) of cheeks?!?

Question

What is it? I didn't bite my cheeks and I don't have open sores.

It's kind of a sharp pain, and it's pretty intense. It's not enough to make me scream but it's making it impossible to chew or even open my mouth.

Tylenol and aspirin don't work for it at all.

Answer 1

The first thing I thought of was your wisdom teeth, but you may also have TMJ syndrome, it's a jaw problem. Some MD's will just prescribe pain killers, but try a chiropractor first.  

Answer 2

Maybe it has something to do with your teeth? I had Wisdom teeth coming in and it was a dull pain.

Other things related to your teeth could cause a sharp pain.

You should probably go to the doctor and have it checked out as soon as possible.

EDIT: My teeth didn't hurt when my Wisdoms were coming in, it was my mouth and cheeks that throbbed, but if you got that checked out, then I don't know what it could be. I would go to a doctor and see what he/she has to say.

You could have some type of infection.

Answer 3

I would go see a dentist right away if I was you.

Answer 4

It could be from your food. Your cheeks might be stretching so you'd be getting growing pains.
