Its my whole cheek really. Its not very swollen. Just a little but its still noticeable.


Answers:

it could still be an abscess. my lad had one a couple of years ago and never felt a thing. his face was hilariously huge when he got up one morning ( cruel to laugh being his mother n'all) so off we went to the doc and he sent us to the dentist who took one look and said abscess. short course of anti-b's should sort it out. good luck, pumpkin-face :)

and its not likely to be mumps as previously suggested as they are swollen glands situated somewhere under your jawline between your neck and your ears.
