Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in left cheek and ear which seems to be due to ear infection, swelling of lymph nodes and due to dental infection of tooth of molar area. Need not to worry. You should maintain complete oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily. Gargle with antimicrobial mouthwash. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Do warm saline gargles. Take proper course of antibiotics to subside infection. Visit dentist once get root canal treatment of tooth done if it is due to dental related cause.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
