Hello
More information is required to give you a definitive diagnosis. From what you have mentioned it might be due a lingering effect of the viral fever which will resolve on it its own . Or this may be due dental reasons which is something that requires an in depth assessment by a prosthodontist. You can wait and watch for a day or two and then visit or consult online.
Next Steps

It can be due to synovitis or tmj arthritis. Muscle relaxants along with corticosteroids and physiotherapy will relieve pain. You can consult through this for prescription of medication and instructions.

Pain due to viral fever usually localises to ear and throat . As far as your pain is concerned , it must be due to a tooth and most likely due to a wisdom tooth. You must get an OPG done to rule out the actual cause .
Next Steps
Visit a dentist as soon as possible and get a correct diagnosis done.

Viral fever is usually associated with pain in the throat, ear.
As for your pain and swelling in the jaw it may be related to a tooth which is causing an issue.
Wisdom tooth is the tooth that most commonly is associated with pain in the jaw and ear and throat region.
Kindly get an assessment and supporting investigations to confirm what the condition is.
