The dentist could not find anything wrong, so she went to an oral surgeon who believed that she had experienced some trauma to her cheek.
They prescribed mouthwash and some pain medication. After a few days, the swelling came down, and then just like that, she pushed out a seed of the marigold flower that was in the salad.
She shared that she started to believe that there wasn't anything in her cheek, but deep within she knew something was there.

Her entire experience taught us a few things. For one, don't silence your inner voice, because it is your body telling you something.
And also, steer clear of eating edible flowers that have seeds in them. You never where they might end up...
