Hello,

Read your query, as you have pain and swelling this can be due to infection in tooth due to carious tooth or periodontal infection which leads to spread of infection in periodontal ligamnents or periapical region of tooth.
For this you should consult your dentist for examination of oral cavity and investigation IOPAxray of swelling, if infection is due to carious tooth then you should discuss with your dentist and go for Root canal treatment if possible and if due to periodontal problem then go for Scaling and root planning.
In meantime you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, you can take medications like Amoxicillin CV and Ofloxacin , and painkiller like ketrol dt or diclofenac sodium by consulting with your local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
Regards,
