Please get an urgent appointment with your doctor but try not to worry. There could be lots of simple reasons for swelling and pain like tooth problems, mumps. However you must set your mind at rest with a thorough examination and get the correct treatment and pain relief. Ring the Gp in the first instance for urgent appointment. or if in England, ring 111 for Out of hours service if it gets worse and you can't get a GP appointment. If all else fails then it's A&E.
