Lump in the middle of my cheek

[Vincentre]

I notice it when i wake up, one side of my face is swollen near the cheeks. Days later it shrink but when i check my mouth i see a lump in the middle of my cheeks and when i touch it, it was not painful. Up until now the lump staying on its own and the size remain the same. Every morning i gurgle salt with warm matter but it's still here. My mother and i go to doctor to check this up, doctor said maybe it is bacteria infection. But there's know changes after drinking those antibiotics he gave me. My lump still not shrinking. I don't know what to do.

Unfortunately I would need to see a photo of the area to give you more advice. If you are scared, rather go see a dentist, that will evaluate the area and take an x-ray. He will then manage accordingly.
It is important to note that you have an opening, called the Stenson's duct, that is actually a salivary duct opening and part of normal anatomy in that area. Some people have been known to misjudge this as pathology.
