Hello sir...
The pain may be due to cavity formation or pocket formation of the first and second molar teeth...
You need to go for IOPA of the involved teeth region....It may be due to secondary infection if the root canal tooth also... Treatment depends on the x-ray investigation only

kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management

The swelling is suggestive of infection.
The most probable reason for this could be deep pockets n food accumulation.
There could be a chance of crown problem or any other reason also.
Get a checkup done. An x-ray might be taken to diagnose well.
U might need scaling, or a re- rct
