Probably wisdom teeth eruption with inflammation of gums around that area, would need to determine position of third molars using an X-ray based on which possible treatment options can be discussed.

Hello Ma'am
Greetings of the day. The pain is mostly due to erupting of wisdom teeth which can be confirmed with an OPG or a x-ray. If the eruption of the teeth is hampered it is better to get them removed since they can only cause you pain.
Next Steps
Warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day will give you temporary relief.
