A member asked:

Feeling poorly through cyst@impacted wisdom tooth swollen cheek @pain in palate have to wait 4 sugery, or can i speed things up, what can i do?

See a dentist ASAP: If swollen, could be serious infection. If you aren't on antibiotics you may need to be. Don't wait any longer!

Specializes in Surgery - Oral & Maxillofacial

Call Oral Surgeon: Call the oral surgeon. Your wisdom tooth is likely infected. He/she can prescribe antibiotics/pain meds until your surgery.
