Brief Answer:
wisdom tooth infection, pus formation, medication

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for Your Query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the swelling over the temporal region or upper jaw region is concerned I have the following possibilities. It can be because of the infection from the upper wisdom tooth that has resulted in pus formation. This is the diagnosis based on the description of your problem. You consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like am oxychloride and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). If you can upload the images of you jaws and the affected area, it will help me in diagnosis. Please give me complete history like from how many days the swelling is there, is it associated with any difficulty in mouth opening or pain. So that I can tell you the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
If any queries are there reply me back.
