My surgeon told me to get a warm wash cloth and push everything out and gave me antibiotics . Well after everything I still had a lump along my jaw. Sn july I was feeling the bump and now.its gotten bigger and hurts for everythinh when before it would just hurt to light pressure. My cheek is a little swollen now and you can see the outline of it. I dont know whether its infected or just swollen . It feels heavy.especially when I wake up from sleeping
