Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Cheek

A month ago I had four wisdom teeth removed. upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right. A few days ago, my cheek started to swell up and I felt slight pain associated with swelling. Now I feel a lump. When that lower-left tooth (where the swelling is in my cheek) was extracted the surgeon noted that I bled the most from that spot. What could be wrong?
