Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain severe pin on right side of face along with swelling and the pain being more around the chin can be related to causes like tooth and gum infection and if it is not the cause, it can be due to causes like infection in the salivary gland, cellulitis, traumatic injury, allergies etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician or an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI scan etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen to relieve inflammation and pain..
Do cool compresses over the face to relieve inflammation and swelling..
Take a soft diet and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
