Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain and presentation of symptoms any traumatic
injury to the soft tissues causes inflammation and swelling is caused due to inflammation..
If you do not have any infected tooth or any
gum infection then the swelling is due to laceration..
It can also be due to any infected tooth that has flared up while can also be due to inflamed gum flap if you have an erupting wisdom tooth..
In case if you have any tooth or gum related infection consulting a
dentist and getting evaluated and x ray of the swollen area followed by treatment of the cause is the correct choice of treatment..
If it is only Inflammation caused by toothbrush trauma you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like
Ibuprofen for relief from swelling and pain..
Do cold compresses over the swollen region of jaw.
Take a
soft diet and take low spiced food to prevent discomfort and irritation..
If will improve in 3 to 4 days..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
