What Could Be The Reason For Having A Large Lump On The Inside Cheek?

NO IT IS ALL DONE, I had used my friend s computer and left to go to work, evenings. I will use this site next time. I wrote down this web site and will use it to call next time. I already had the oral surgery on last Friday; a large lump on the left side inside cheek and ten stitches.

Pediatric Surgeon,  's  Response
Please show it to the surgeon who has operated it. As it is already 7 days and edema due to surgery subsides within this time. So this lump may be either some collection due to local infection or blood clot. In this situation, i would had put you on broad spectrum antibiotics and local antiseptic mouth washes regularly and would had opened alternate stitches to look for any collection and drainage or aspiration of the collection.
