LymphadenitisTrismus: Those are the names of what you describe. That is not a diagnosis but just the terms for your symptoms. Various problems in the head and neck can be responsible. Dentally speaking, dental abscesses, wisdom teeth, oral infections of soft tissue spaces, TMJ issues are some of the common ones to blame.

See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess or gum abscess won't go away without treatment. A dental abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. Take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs OTC for pain control. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP.
