Bitten cheek inside my mouth—what should I do?

So, I’m looking for some advice on how to prevent this from happening again... because I recently managed to accidentally bite my own cheek, and honestly, I’m not even sure how it occurred—it’s a bit embarrassing, really. Currently, the area is quite red, looks inflamed, and there's almost a small indentation where the wound is. It’s becoming painful whenever I try to eat, and the discomfort has actually spread to my teeth, which is unusual since they don't normally bother me. Is there a specific remedy or perhaps an over-the-counter treatment you might suggest for something like this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

A shot of bourbon first thing in the morning... actually, make it a shot every time I need to get moving. 😁

What do you mean it spread to your tooth? Is it actually aching now? 😕
Did you just bite yourself the way most of us do when we're chewing gum a bit too aggressively?
If that's the case, maybe try using some kind of beehive-derived tincture or something similar with medicinal properties (usually sold as oral drops in a small bottle). You could soak a Q-tip in it and apply it directly to the spot. Bee-based extracts tend to work wonders on mouth sores—like canker sores, for instance—and there are plenty of specific over-the-counter treatments for those. The decent thing about those tinctures is that they tend to stick to the area, essentially "staining" the tissue so it stays put.
