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 pimple or hair follicle infection.
Nothing to be panic, consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
