Suggest Remedy For Swelling Lumps In Cheek

Well this started about 2 to 3 days ago and I hve developed a swollen cheek and its just getting worst. It started out as a small lump on my right cheek and now the swelling has spread to the entire right side of my face. I thought it was just a bug bite. I have swelling and redness on my right cheek and numbness and a little pain near my jaw line.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some poisonous bite on cheek giving rise allergic reaction on the part.
Take antihistamine medicine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for2-3 days.
If redness, swelling and soreness increases, go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
