Hello
Thanks for consulting hcm
Read your query swollen and painful jaw can be due to infection in jaw or due to inflamation in jaw bone . For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for clinical examination and investigation opg x ray to evaluate the cause and get proper diagnosis .
Inmeantime do warm saline rinses and follow post operative instructions given by your doctor .
Hope this will help you.
