Probably not sinus: A swelling in your cheek is most likely a dental issue. Have your dentist re-examine those maxillary teeth.

See your doctor: There are several possible causes of this type of swelling: allergic reaction, sinusitis, cellulitis or dental infection. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
