Hi, your mother could either have an infection like mumps which infection the glands and cause swelling or the joint around the jaw called temperomandibular joint could be causing the issue. You need to get a video consultation with a physician at the earliest. You can give your mother painkiller to reduce pain while eating if the pain is unbearable.
