If you don't feel a lump or anything like that in your cheek/jaw, it's not an absess.
Of course... if it is wisdom teeth... Owwie...

Its my cheek that hurts more than my actual gum in my mouth, and I really want it sorting but I'm petrified the dentist will use needles in my face! >: (
I refuse to have anaesthetic through needle form, last time when I had my first and only filling I refused needles, and when I had my 3 baby teeth removed when I was younger I didn't have needles either. But I dunno what sorta procedure takes place with owchy cheeks!?!

What are the symptoms of mumps?
Mumps usually begins with two days of discomfort and an increasing temperature. This is followed by an uncomfortable feeling in the jawbone and a swelling of the parotid glands. Often the swelling occurs unevenly, on one side of the face before the other. It is only possible to get mumps in one of the glands. The body temperature may rise to 40oC and the swelling can feel oppressive and sore. The earlobes stick out and the child's face eventually looks very swollen. The child experiences pain when opening their mouth. In mild cases the swelling may only last three to four days, but it can go on for a week or more.

I considered that it might be an allergic reaction. I'm not allergic to bees or wasps (been stung by both before and been fine apart from the standard owchiness), but I am allergic to orange juice and I've drank a lot recently (makes my mouth and tongue swell LOL). I'm pretty sure its not that though. Oh well... Dentist will hopefully find summat out tomorrow morning.
