Swollen Cheek: A swollen cheek can be related to your teeth or salivary glands. You'll need to be seen by both a dentist and physician to determine the source of your swelling, and then the proper treatment.

Cheek/leg: Doubtful cheek and leg symptoms have the same cause. If you've had the mumps vaccine then no, probably not mumps. Swollen cheek may be due to salivary gland involvement and/or dental infection. See both your Dentist and your Physician for examinations.
