Hello,
As you are mentioning that there is swelling on right side on jaw and there is sore tongue with dry mouth, it can be possible that there is infection of salivary gland that is why these problems are occuring, it can be viral or bacterial.
I think you should visit an oral medicine specialist to get it properly examined and relieved.
Hope it will help you
