Get a dental X ray: Evaluation of the area of swelling may reveal the source of a common infection of the jaw possibly from the teeth. Infections in this area should not be ignored because they can be very uncomfortable and potentially life threatening.

Pain/swelling: Please see a Dentist immediately. It sounds as if you have an infection that is spreading, and that can be quite dangerous. Please call immediately.
