Bit the side of my jaw extremely bad help how can i treat the pain?

Bit cheek: By jaw do you meen cheek or tongue? Either of these are painfull, but will heal quickly if you can avoid doing it again. When you injured it, it probably swelled slightly, this will cause you to easily bite it again. Try a very soft diet, requiring little to no chewing for a couple days. Also ambesol cream apply as directed for pain, available at most drug stores. Chew very carefully. Goodluck.
