Infection: Is the most likely cause. Best to see a dentist or oral surgeon asap to evaluate.

Swollen gums/cheek: Sounds like an infection of either a tooth or gums or both. This needs to be treated by a dentist or oral surgeon. An untreated infection in that area could affect your sinus and other areas.
