Without clinically seeing the case its not possible to tell anything , but it might be because of cheek bite due to 3rd molar erupting in the mouth, but for proper diagnosis you should visit a dentist near you.

hello,you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy, but this will give only temporary relief from pain. you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is a cavity, you need to get it filled. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.

The pain could have varied origins. Considering the age, it could be due to eruption of wisdom tooth too. In such cases there could be pain which the patient is unable to localize.
