Possible Dental: Your son might have wisdom teeth that are impacted. Important to have him checked out first by a dentist. If everything is okay tooth wise, followup with his primary care doctor to rule out other issues.

Unfortunately : Difficult to diagnose without examining your son, but would recommend an evaluation with a dentist to rule out a wisdom tooth related problem. Hope this helps.
