Introduction
In general, pain in both cheeks upon waking in the morning may be caused by wisdom teeth, trauma, facial neuritis, etc. In addition, it could also result from conditions such as facial nerve tumors or facial muscle spasms. In any case, if a patient experiences the above symptoms, especially severe pain, it is recommended to promptly visit a正规 hospital to seek appropriate treatment.

Generally, pain in both cheeks upon waking in the morning may be caused by wisdom teeth, trauma, facial neuritis, etc. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Wisdom Teeth

Growth of wisdom teeth in the mouth can cause swelling and pain in both cheeks. For mild cases, oral administration of Zhongtongan capsules or metronidazole tablets may help alleviate the pain.

2. Trauma

After a fall or severe impact, soft tissue injuries in both cheeks may occur, leading to local congestion, edema, and significant pain. Patients can apply local ice packs to reduce tissue exudation.

3. Facial Neuritis

This is usually nerve pain caused by nerve damage or inflammation, which may result in pain on both sides of the cheeks. In such cases, treatments like warm compresses, infrared irradiation, or shortwave diathermy at a hospital can help improve symptoms.

In addition, conditions such as facial nerve tumors or facial muscle spasms may also be responsible. In summary, if patients experience the above symptoms with severe pain, it is recommended to promptly visit a正规 hospital for appropriate treatment.
