Swelling and pain inside the cheeks (usually refers to the back end of the jawbone on both sides of the face) may be caused by trauma, periodontitis, parotid duct stones and mumps.
1. Trauma: If the parotid area is traumatized, resulting in damage to the local soft tissues and mucous membranes of the skin, the symptoms of swelling and pain will appear.
2. Periodontitis: If you suffer from periodontitis, there is usually abscess in the periodontal tissues during the acute attack, and if the scope of swelling expands, the symptoms of swelling and pain in the parotid area may occur.
3. Parotid duct stones: If there are parotid duct stones, making the parotid duct blocked, there may be local redness and swelling, usually accompanied by parotid pain.
4. Mumps: Mumps is usually associated with mumps virus infection, which is usually associated with localized pain and tenderness, and may also lead to localized lymph node infections, which, if they spread, can cause pain and swelling in the cheeks.
It is recommended to actively go to the regular hospital to find out the cause of the swelling and then targeted to solve the problem, so as not to delay the condition.
