Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The itching over the cheeks can be because of the allergic to the cleansing agents used or to the medicines you are taking for tooth infection. The pain can be secondary to the endodontic flare up following root canal treatment. Nothing to be panic, consult your oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like aoxicillin and metronidazole for tooth infection and diclofenac for the pain in the jaws(if you are nit allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
