A member asked:
What should i do about an abscess inside my cheek?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dentist: Are the signs/symptoms in the cheek? If so, an infected accessory salivary gland may be present or maybe an infected parotid gland. If the gum tissues are the location, it may be an infected tooth or possible an infected periodontal pocket (the space between the tooth and gum tissue). An antibiotic may be helpful. See a dentist for help in diagnosis/treatment.
