Brief Answer:
Can be a third molar infection

Detailed Answer:
Hii thanks for your followup. Its sad that you couldnt upload the picture.Pls send the pics as to this mail id: YYYY@YYYY the symptoms told yesterday it can be infection of errupting molar(wisdom tooth). I suggest to do warm salt water gargle concentrating on that side.Also do warm water pack from outside on that area and try to open and close the mouth twice or thrice(infection can sometimes cause reduce opening of mouth so in order to prevent that follow this).Also take amoxicillin and anti inflammatory so that the pain will reduce. In meantime please visit your dentist and get the checkup done. Hope you understood what I meant. Stay calm and be happy.Please do review my answer so that I can improve answering in future. Thankyou and have a healthy day.
