Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
There could be presence of any broken tooth piece or infection an x-ray of the region is required.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your Dentist.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Based upon the x-ray the type of treatment will be decided.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as this may worsen the condition.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards..
