It's an abscess. Apply hot compresses to your face where the pain is. Get some tea bags. Steep some hot tea, let the bag cool just a little and stuff it up against the lump in your cheek. The bag needs to be as hot as you can stand it without really burning you. Do this 4 or 5 times a day, hot compress, hot tea bag, alternating. In 4 days to a week, it's come to a head and drain. You'll still need to get the tooth pulled tho.

It's an infection. You need to go on antibiotics ASAP or it will spread.

@MarkPaul even the under part of my jaw hurts on the left

@SW-User Yeah man... from your wisdom tooth. The infection is spreading. A dentist will be able to confirm my diagnosis and prescribe the proper antibiotic. It will clear the infection in about a week. Go to the dentist (there's probably a free clinic). Don't play around with this; it will only get worse.

Don't screw around with this!! There is a very high likelihood that you need antibiotics.🤨 That is not mucus you taste, it's dead blood cells... pus.😫
