At this age it's mostly because of eruption of wisdom tooth. Which causes pain, swelling & inflammation as it's inaccessible to oral hygiene. It will subside in a few days. Till than take a pain killer.

Hello
You need to visit for clinical and radiographically evaluation so as to come to an appropriate diagnosis and then get it treated. Don't delay it further because if a tooth can be saved please get the treatment done or it would be extracted at such a young age.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist soon
