Need medical advice for severe cheek biting habit ! help?

Cotton rolls: I have had patients place moistened cotton rolls between teeth and gums while awake. Do not attempt while sleeping as you might want to have an appliance fabricated if you bite at night.

See specialist: See a prosthodontist to evaluate your bite . If all is well with it, then you may need a nightguard for the nighttime. If you are doing this during the day then you may need to see a therapist to help determine why you are doing this and how to help you manage/improve it . Good luck.
