<s>[INST] swelling of left cheek region,lower wisdom tooth removed a couple of years back.The upper 3rd molar fully erupted and impinging on cheek,had it extracted 2 days back.swelling has increased since.could i be having mumps?i hav no fever,pain only if my cheeks are touched [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling over the cheek following extraction of the tooth can be of inflammatory origin. Usually this occurs when the bone is cut while removing the tooth or when the lymphatics around the cheek are damaged. This takes around 2 days to recover, nothing to be panic, Complete the course of antibiotics preferably a combination of amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic).  Along with this you can take an analgesic with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>
