Should I be concerned about a giant "zit" on ball of my cheek, causing more swelling than I am used to?
It's been there for 3-4 days, and I popped it today, and a normal amount of pus came out. It's been more swollen than most zits I've had swelling since it appeared, and of course popping it caused more swelling.
It doesn't hurt.
I went online, and read all these horror stories about Staph infections, etc.
Should I be worried?
Also, I do have a dead tooth, but not under the zit, and nothing hurts.

Bathe your cheek in warm water with a small amount of TCP added, this will stop any infection. Try to leave it alone and not squeeze and pick it,

Maybe so. I googled "staph infections" and looked at the pictures. Doesn't look like anything to mess with. I think I'd get a doctor to check it out. Better safe than sorry.

Hi the damn thing will have a life cycle so try to leave it alone ( which I could not do if it had a huge white head ) Don't be concerned at the moment .
