A swollen cheek can be caused by either an infected tooth or an allergic reaction. If the are is irritating for Archie or seems to bother him, then an allergic reaction is more likely. At any rate it’s best to get your vet to examine Archie to either treat this with steroids for a reaction or get a dental cleaning scheduled for an infected root tooth abscess. Best of luck moving forward with Archie and I hope this swelling resolves soon! Take care.
