[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor.  Read your query, as you have painful decayed tooth this can swell in gum, cheek, face can be due to infection in decayed tooth may be there is formation of Periapical Abscess in tooth or Space infection can be there causing swelling. I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of swelling and investigations like IOWA or OPG if needed, in meantime you can take Amoxiclav or of lox oz by consulting with your doctor and analgesic for pain like Painted or Diploma, Do warm saline rinses and go for its treatment as early as possible. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health. Regards.,
