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.
