Dental Pain: I would make an appointment with your dds immediately for a diagnosis and treatment plan. While your description is helpful, the exact site of the swelling will also be important for your dentist to see. Swelling in the cheek is dangerous, because it means that the infection associated with the tooth may have spread into the tissues and muscles in proximity to the tooth that is involved.

Call your Dentist: Sorry, there's no way around it. This isn't a diy project. Your daughter has a major infection that is spreading and can be extremely dangerous if not controlled immediately. She must see a dentist as soon as possible. Don't wait...Call now.
