i bit the inside of my cheek last week and it still hasn't healed.
it seems to be even more inflamed when i wake up each morning.
it is driving me nuts.
what can i do to speed up the healing process?

First of all, if it lasts more than two weeks go to the doctor or dentist, because they have medication that can help speed healing and if you let it go too long, it could get very difficult to heal.

For home care, before you go to bed at night, it is important that the canker sore is as clean as possible, so gargling with Cepacol mouthwash or some other antiseptic solution like those Litigious suggested could help.  You could also put a few drops of Gly-Oxide (which is carbamide peroxide and glycerin and is designed to use inside your mouth) on the canker sore and then swish it around your mouth and spit it out after you brush your teeth.

Avoid spicy and acidic foods until the canker sore is healed.  Try to avoid biting or injuring it again, which I know is easier said than done.

I looked here to see if I could find more suggestions for you:

You are welcome, but definitely go to the dentist or doctor if it lasts too much longer.  I bit my tongue once and let it go way too long and I wound up having to have it biopsied.  I was lucky, though.  It wasn't cancer.

I think that I have permanent scarring
from biting my cheeks. Used to do it
regularly when young.

I don't know, but I think that oral cancer can happen from repeated trauma that causes a sore that does not heal.  In my case they had to biopsy it just to be sure it wasn't cancer.  There was this large bump on the side of my tongue that never went away.  The biopsy showed that it was actually granulation tissue that had grown too high for epithelial cells to cover it, so the middle remained ulcerated.  I think this might have happened because it kept getting unintentionally reinjured because it stuck out on the side of my tongue.

Thanks.  Yes, it is fine now.  I can still see a scar if I stick out my tongue in front of a mirror, but that's a lot better than what I had before.

Hey Flo, seeing as you're so renowned in psychology, how about giving diaper lady a free session?

Tongue cancer?  How the fuck did that happen?  Cancer occurs from numerous factors, and I could make a post a mile long for that one.

I better watch it now, I am very sensitive right now.

When they did the biopsy, they found that it was not cancer.  I think that they were just being careful.

Thanks for your concern about me, though.   :)

No no, its not over.  You have some risk for cancer and you better listen good or it will happen.  Mine bitched the fuck out of me and I did not listen and so it severly punished my ass.
