Left cheek swollen and unable to chew
Hello doctor. My left cheek is swollen and I'm not able to chew food. It's been 4 days. I'm eating liquid food since then. I'm also experiencing mild pain in the throat and left ear. I think my wisdom tooth is growing and I also have a blister at the end of the gum which is making it more difficult for me. Could you suggest some medicines to subside the pain for now. I've attached the x-ray which I took 8 months back. Thank you
