Question : My left cheek on my face is swollen and it often is but I thought I should see if that is a problem. I used to pay a website with doctors with my questions but I am on a tight budget. How much will this cost for an answer.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Cellulitis, tooth infection, medication.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the swelling over the cheek is concerned, it can be a cellulitis secondary to tooth infection. Nothing to be PANIC, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). Please note that these are prescription drugs.

Regarding the cost for asking a question in the website read the instructions in the website or contact customer care. Write to YYYY@YYYY

I hope I have answered your query. If any queries are there reply me back. Take care.
