Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain on the cheek bone can be because of the tooth infection or bone infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). The chances of secondaries from thyroid cancer is very less.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
