Hi,

Thanks for aksing the query,

Jaw and cheek swelling can be due to ulcerations, can be a symptom of underlying dental issue that is causing infection and abscess formation in the mouth, growth such as tumors and cheek can also cause cheek and jaw swelling.
I would suggest you to consult to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get a checkup done, take an OPG radiograph which will give the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
Apply Dologel oral ointment topically over the affected area.
Go for symptomatic treatment of lukewarm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take tab paracetomol twice daily for pain relief.
Avoid eating of hot and spicy foodstuffs.

Hope this answers your query,

Regards.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

All your symptoms posted here,shows clear cut signs of infection and developed abscess there.

The numbness is due to pressure caused on the nerves,due to swelling or its involvement.

Please seek your dentist help as soon as possible.

Any developed abscess has to be well treated by drainage and suitable antibiotic and analgesics.

Also the concerned tooth has to be well treated by root canal treatment.

For the ulcer you can apply dologel locally.

Meanwhile use antiseptic mouth rinses.also do warm saline rinses.

maintain very good oral hygiene.

Hope it helps.

Take care.

Thanks.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Swelling in the jaws , tenderness and ulceration indicates formation of abscess may be arising from underlying dental infection.

Periodontal abscess arising from dental infection leads to due ain ,swelling and fever.



This type of periodontal abscess drains in the oral cavity and may lead to nausea and vomiting.

once the abscess is drained the infected tooth needs to be explored again for root canal procedure.

you need to get an x ray done the affected area to confirm the presence of infection, approach a dentist for the treatment.

For ulcers ,
Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
