Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Every symptom that you have mentioned here are due to single cause,the infected last molars or wisdom teeth.

Please see your dentist soon.Get the x rays done and starts with antibiotics upon consultation.
Next step is to take antibiotics and get the extraction done.

This will solve all your worries and present symptoms.For now please take tablet combiflam every eight hourly, for immediate relief until you see your dentist.

Follow good oral hygiene measures and do take good care of yourself.Let me know for further doubts.

Thanks.
