Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with HCM.
The swelling which you are mentioning can be an infectious swelling that might have arisen from tooth or spreading from sinus.
To get it confirmed a complete examination with radiograph should be done. For that you have to visit a dentist nearby.
Hope it will help you.
