Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lumps & bruises in cheekbone. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hematoma, broken zygotic bone or soft tissue injury. I would suggest you to apply ice pack several times a day, eat soft or liquid food and keep face and jaw stable. Consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may Chat Doctor.  Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
