What Could Bleeding Post Wisdom Tooth Removal Suggest?

I've just gotten my wisdom teeth removed today (4 of them). It's been about 6 hours since the operation, I've successfully dealt with the initial bleeding and I've been fine for about 2 hours now. However, a lump has just formed on the right side of my cheek and is currently causing a lot of pain. I can barely open my mouth because of the pain.. There is nothing on the left side though, what might this be and should I be worried?

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic,
You shouldn't worry about it, it may be heating by instrument or cheek bite.
You should take some cold things(like ice cream, cold milk etc)
Also take soft dite and proper care of your wound by gargle of salt and warm water,
Take proper antibiotics and analgesics.
Get well soon,
Take care,
Thanks and regards.
