What Is The Treatment For A Lump On The Cheek?

my son fell 2 weeks ago on the stairs. he bruised and his healed now. however, he now has an indentation on his right cheek. when pressing the area, it is hard, like a lump. he isn't in any pain when i touch the area and can smile, blow outward without any problems

thanks for your query, the lump could be because of tooth infection and collection of pus or it can be because of the trauma causing tooth fracture. consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done and take a course of antibiotics if it is because of the tooth infection. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
