From the site of pain you are describing , sounds like parotid swelling which can be due to infection
It can also be an episode of acute tonsillitis
For now use betadine gargles thrice daily
Start some anti-inflammatory tablets and take only soft diet . Avoid cold , spicy , oily and fried food
Consult for further management
