Mouth pain
I've had pain in my mouth, thought it was a wisdom tooth but there is a red lump in the back of my mouth. I haven't been able to open my mouth too wide, and one side of my face is swollen.

Hello there ! It seems that you may have periapical infection in the tooth or an abscess which causes swelling of the face.
Next Steps
Immediately visit to dentist for the treatment which may include pre-antibiotics to subside inflammation and swelling, followed by extraction or root canal treatment procedures.
