A member asked:
I dealt with a facial trauma 6 weeks ago & it caused swelling on one of my cheek. within 2 weeks of injury, most of the swelling went away but i still feel a lump in cheek which is not going away and its size has been constant, also theres no pain?

The bulk of the swelling was likely from edema and that drained away. The residual "lump" may be blood in the tissue, hematoma, and it may take a while to resolve. If you do not have other symptoms, you may watch and wait. Warm fomentation may facilitate the resolution.
