Swelling inside mouth???

Check my previous posts on my profile to see what’s going on but I just finished brushing my teeth and I noticed that the inside of my cheek in my mouth is very swollen!! It’s actually touching my teeth?! I’m very scared idk what’s going on I feel like I’m going to die!!! A very helpful person in my previous post suggested that I might have something wrong with my lingual tonsils since they had almost the exact same symptoms as I’ve got and they’ve been diagnosed with it but they haven’t had any surgery yet. Does anyone know if lingual tonsil infections or even ordinary tonsil infections can cause this problem! I also feel like there’s a feeling of pressure on my cheeks on mainly the inside but it’s on the outside as well!!

🤔 It may occur for many reasons, but usually arises from the accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the cheeks. ... In some cases, cheek swelling may be related to a condition such as mumps (viral infection of the salivary glands in the neck).

🙂If it doesn’t subside, see your GP.

It’s mainly noticeable on the inside of my mouth it’s like on either side of the inside of my mouth (around where the inside of cheeks are) it’s very swollen. It could be mumps but when my throat problems first started I looked up the symptoms but I don’t have very many symptoms of it :(

Um I’m not looking to lose weight atm I’m trying to find out what’s wrong with my throat. So I’d appreciate if you didn’t advertise your exercise programs on my post! If you don’t have any helpful advise about what’s wrong with my throat/mouth plz don’t comment!

That’s ok! It was probably a bot account! It happens in a lot on these types of apps :)
