See your dentist: You symptoms coud be caused by many things. One thought is by an infection. However you need to see a dentist or physician to get a diagnosis and treatment.

See your dentist : At this point, i can not tell you what your problem is but I do strongly suggest that you see your dentist as soon as possible. Since you have swelling and difficulty opening your jaw, this should be diagnosed and treated immediately to prevent complications. It may or may not be a dental problem but without seeing you, it can not be diagnosed.
