What Are The Possible Treatments For Lump Formation On An Injury ?

Hello.
I was punched in the face about a week ago, my cheek was pierced by my tooth and was bleeding heavily. I did not see a doctor, rather I cleaned it very well and applied pressure for a few days until bleeding stopped. Now I have a sort of lump where the wound was, and I wanted to know if it is supposed to hurt to the touch since it has not healed fully. And how long that bump (which I assume is tissue build up) will last and hurt.
Thank you.

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic,
As you informed,I think from punched you heart both cheek and teeth but cheek infection come-out early and tooth infection takes time.
You should continue some antibiotics and painkiller,
You should need visit a dentist so he or she check well and give you better treatment,
I wish you get well soon,
thanks,
