Hi Gwen.

Thanks for the query!

Painful swelling could be the result of many possible reasons such as infection, decayed tooth or impacted tooth.

If I were your doctor I would have done a thorough clinical examination and radiographic investigation which would have led me to the correct diagnosis.

Kindly visit a dentist.

Hope this helps.

Take care!
