It started the other day when i was at school, i noticed my cheeks swelling a little and it was some what painful. By the end of the day it seemed to have gotten worse, so i took some Tylenol 3. After taking the medicine i felt nauseaus and threw up before i went to bed. The next morning i woke up and my cheeks were twice the size from the day before and hurt like hell. I then took another Tylenol 3 and felt nauseaus again, probably because i didnt eat anything. Felt nauseaus the whole day and couldnt eat at all. Throughout the day i started getting headaches. The swelling and pain haven't gotten worse but it also hasn't gotten better. i would go to the doctor but none are open on weekends. Does anyone know what it is? And if you do you know of anything that can ease the pain?

Maybe it is a bad reaction to something you ate or put on your face. I'm not a doctor but that is what i would guess. Go back and think of what you ate or put on your face. You might be allergic to something.
I do know for sure though that the nausea is from the Tylenol 3. Tylenol 3 contains codeine which causes nausea when taken without food. Take it after eating and avoid moving around to much. This will prevent nausea. If nausea still occurs, lay down and wait, it should go away.
The hospital is always open (at least the emergency room) and you might want to go. Allergic reactions can be life threatening (your throat could swell blocking your air way) so i would go to the hospital as soon as possible, unless your sure that it is not getting worse. Take some benadryl too. Benadryk is for allergic reactions and may help with the swelling(maybe).
Anyways, like i said, im not a doctor, but this is what i suggest you do. Hope it gets better.

Try benadryl and see if the swelling goes down. dont take tylenol 3 you may be allergic to the codeine and it could be causing the swelling.If it does not go down with benadryl go to the doctor. Sounds like a bad allergic reaction.

sounds like an allergic reaction to me. reference what you've eaten in the last 24-48 hours. get an allergy test as well next week.

It could be the mumps but what do I know!! the symptoms are swollen cheeks. I live for Excedrin. You could try that!
