Swollen left cheek with no pain
I have suddenly developed a swollen left cheek, it was not there at night and I woke up with the swollen cheek next morning. I have no pain, no itching, no redness, no problem to move my jaw, no problem to eat nothing at all. It is the second time I am having this in the last 30-45 days or so, both are same, painless and all.
I currently have no tooth infection, no decay, no tooth pain.
I had an AVR surgery and am on anti-coagulants. And I ma recently diagnosed with kidney stones and treated for that.
Please someone let me know what exactly is causing this swelling?
