Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of buccal space infection .

Consult a oral surgeon for oral examination ..
If intaoral pus accumlation present means gum boil than drainage can done.
After clinical examination final diagnosis and treatment plan occurs.
As soon as possible treat that condition otherwise that can spread to other space also...
Proper antibiotics course and drainage helpful in this space infection.
Maintain proper hygiene of oral cavity.
OPG is helpful for further diagnosis.

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
