You seem to be suffering from acute parotid infection known as acute parotitis. Usually it is a self resolving condition and you may need to take symptomatic treatment in the form of pain killers and anti septic mouth gargle. Sometimes antibiotics may be required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
