hello..
your symptoms tell that you have decayed tooth in mouth which needs either root canal treatment or filling or extraction, which ever is needed. you should visit your dentist soon because earlier also you used to get dental pain but you did not got treated. so i will advise you to visit dental surgeon so that he can cure your dental pain. medicines will not work as you condition is chronic. location and weather changes do aggrevate dental pain..
so try to get dental check up as soon as possible
take care

hi
From the symptoms you have told here, pain in jaw , head and swelling in tonsils, it appears to be a case of tonsilitis. but to be sure of that, you have to go for dental checkup. but if its tonsillitis, just painkillers will not help. you have to take antibiotics ( amoxycillin 500mg three times a day) along with painkillers. also try warm saline gargles. take as much warm liquid as you can. symptoms usually subside within 2 weeks after starting antibiotics.
wishing you good health
with best regards
