Infection: Likely some sort of infection. Could be viral without much tonsillar swelling. Could be a tooth infection, mastoiditis, etc. See the "swollen glands" don't improve could be other things such as lymphadenopathy. See you md for a history and physical examination.

Hard to say.: Hard to say without exam. Depends on how long right jaw swollen. I would recommend an exam by an ENT doc to rule out serious pathology.

See a dentist ASAP: If you rely on antibiotics or other not a definitive treatment, the infection will come back. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. Do not delay. See your dentist ASAP. Good luck.
