Sore throats are normally caused by bacterial, or viral, infections.

Most sore throats are not serious and pass within 3-7 days without the need for medical treatment. Over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers, such as acetaminophen, can usually be used to relieve the symptoms of a sore throat.

Could be a lymph problem causing swelling in the cheek.

Check with a doctor to examine your sore throat and cheek for a correct diagnosis.
