A few days ago my jaw felt as if it was bruised. Then I woke up the next day and it was completely swollen and the whole area (below ear on jaw, by lymph nodes) was rock hard. I took ineupeoden and iced it and the swelling went down and it wasn't as painful, however the next day I woke up and it was even more swollen and painful them the day before. Do you think I have an infection? Because today the area also started to itch but it was itching internally.. Nothing I could scratch.
