HI. All your history is more suggestive of a blocked duct of the right submandibular salivary gland causing the swelling and the pain increases on eating and is referred too.
Get the CT scan done to see for the stone , the condition of the gland and other lymph nodes and get this operated after a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines, drink plenty of oral fluids.
