General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The persisting swelling in the cheek could be due to a hematoma getting organised in these 7 months time, or might be due to an independent cyst. If you did not have any pain and it was not too big to be noticed by others, just observation of the swelling in regular intervals is required. Please do not fiddle with it. In case this increases, then you might have to get it assessed by a general surgeon in your area for a possible FNAC and further management of the problem.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
