Sudden onset of painless unilateral cheek swelling is usually because of insect bite reaction. If the swelling is persistent then you may need to take anti allergic medication and a short course of steroids
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
