What causes inside of your cheek to swell? i have a noticeable red swelling inside my right cheek that is painful. i don't remember biting it. did have a cough drop on that side. what can i do?

Sudden onset of red painful swollen area on the inner cheek can have several causes. The most likely are an apthus ulcer , an ulcer caused by trauma to the area or a salivary duct stone . Seeing a primary care physician in person or a HealthTap video consult should give you appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
