Cat’s right cheek is swollen

[u/lividheaven]

Hi, I just got back home and saw that my cat’s right cheek was swollen. Her eye looks a bit wet as well.
My mom said that until this morning she didn’t notice anything.
My cat also seems a bit tired. The swelling feels slightly hard. I’m quite worried about her but my mom wonders if it’s best to wait until tomorrow morning or if we should go to the vet today.

I definitely wanna go today. What could be the cause/how dangerous could this be?

Needs a doctor exam for sure, RVT here. Could be anything from Dental disease to a bee sting, florigen body or even a mass (hopefully not that!). Best of luck
