Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually when a tooth is infected and abscess is formed in the apex. This abscess had a tendency to spread from tissue spaces, that is why there is swelling in the surrounding area, so you should get the tooth treated for complete relief.
Hope it will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen cheek is secondary to the abscessed tooth. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out the infection in the tooth. If the tooth is infected then it has to be treated with root canal treatment. Continue the course of antibiotics and get the tooth treated as early as possible.
the pain in the neck and shoulder is because of the referred pain from the tooth infection. once the tooth is treated, all the problems will be solved.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
