My mouth has been painful for a week already. the inside part of my cheeks and gums became swollen. very painful when i eat and chew.

See a dentist : You have been suffering with this for a week and you are getting worse. Itis time to take action and see a dentist. You will continue to have more pain until you see a dentist and get treatment. You have waited long enough.

Would recommend: Seeing a dentist for an evaluation. Unable to render a diagnosis or treatment recommendations without an examination. Sorry. Hope this helps.
