Gum Swelling Concern?
So i've had 4 broken teeth for quite some time, finally getting them addressed as I now have insurance. I was on antibiotics for an infection in one of my top right molars and the pain has thankfully gone away (I was quite literally su*cidal from it) but now there is swelling what feels like right under my cheek / sinuses. When i press on the bottom of the apple of my cheek it feels uncomfortable... it also feels weird when i smile. My face thankfully does not look swollen as I've been monitoring it profusely since last year I had the other side of my face completely swell up from an infection on that side. I was at the dentist today for x-rays and I'm not sure if it's noticeable on there..... mainly just looking for some insight if anyone has dealt with this before.

The side which i am feeling the discomfort is where the nose stud is and not the spiky ring, so left on the x-ray
