Mayasutton,

Your GP is not going to be able to handle this problem. Have you consulted with an oral surgeon?

My cheek/face on the affected side also protrudes/appears a bit swollen. I have an appointment with my GP on Friday. I really hope something can be done about this. I have a job interview in two weeks and am a nervous wreck :-/. I hope this is the last stage before the area gradually decreases to normal sensation. What medications should I suggest?

Thank you for your help/support!
