Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

Based on what you have mentioned,looks like it is a infection from a tooth .
It is a abcess caused which can be either from any of your lower tooth or from your gums(periodontal abcess).

I advise you to visit your local dentist and get a check up done and do the needful treatment.

For the pain u can take paracetamol or ibuprofen (if u are not allergic to medicine).

Do saline gargles.

Visit a dentist and get treated.

Hope this was useful for u.

Thanks and warm regards.
