What Causes Pain In Throat Muscle?

Hi about two weeks ago I got a real little cut from a very rusty dirty piece of metal on a tractor and less than a week later My left side of my jaw has become very painful and the left side of my throat muscles hurt to swallow and its been this way for about a week and a half now. I have trouble closing my jaw all the way because the front teeth almost touch on top of eachother rather than having an over bite and the back teeth barely touch. At first i was wondering if it was my allergies but Ive tried multiple different kinds of allergy medications and nothing is helping it seems to only be getting worse, I was wondering what This could be. Thank you!
