I certainly hope you had medical care when this happened! Whether or not you did, you certainly need in-person care now. You had an abscess that may not have cleared up entirely, and it is possible you have a serious underlying problem, such as infection involving the bone of your jaw (osteomyelitis), which can be difficult to treat and might require surgery. See a doctor soon. Good luck.
