Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query painful lump like swelling on left cheek this can be due to partially erupted wisdom teeth due to depostion of food debris and infection due to presence of pericoronal flap condition known as Pericoronitis .

For this I will you to do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day and consult oral surgeon for examination of teetg and curretage .

Hope this will help you.
