Swollen sore cheek

Swollen sore cheek

Hi
My 6 year old son went in for a filling and as the injection started wearing off afterwards he complained that his cheek was sore. Two days after he was still complaining and couldn't even open his mouth very wide, it also hurt him to eat. I took him back to the dentist who checked if he had an abcess (abscess) which he didn't. the dentist then said he thinks its an infection but he wasn't sure. My son is on antibiotics now and its his 3rd day (think it is called augmaxill?) and it seems a little better but is taking very slow. What is this and what could have caused this?
Many Thanks
T
