helloo...read thru ur query and accordingly i must say that it can be due to viral infection since all symptoms are confined to a particular side(in ur case right side)nothing to be worried be cool...i suggest you to meet an ent surgeon or physician and get it treated..(after going to a dentist and rule out infection in the teeth or oral cavity)meantime you do salt water gargle as many times as possible...be cool and calm...viral infection(if at all present)can be treated symptomatically...happy and cool mind can combat any infection and disease in life...hope u r benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling in the teeth and gums can be because of the periapical infections like apical periodontitis or periapical abscess. The swollen gland are nothing but the enlarged lymphnodes secondary to the infection. Consult a oral physician and get a radiographs like RVG or IOPAR to rule out gum and teeth infection.
If i am your treating doctor, i would have suggested you to take a a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then i would have suggested to go for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection.
Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
