Hi
I think it is inflammation of salivary gland especially parotid.
You need to do hot fomentation along with analgesics and 7 days of antibiotic treatement. Dont take solid food. eat semi solid or liquid only.Clean your mouth with chlorhexidine or betadine 3 times a day.
And if necessary carry out cbc investigation to know the wbc count.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
