Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling can be because of the tooth or gum infection leading to periapical abscess formation. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole. Regarding your habit of tobacco chewing, you need a thorough examination of the oral cavity. so consult the oral physician.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
