Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with healthcaremagic.
As you got hit on the jaw by a metal gate, and it is hurting also and there is difficulty in swelling it means there is some injury in the jaw, it can be just in the oralcavity or it can be in the bone also.
To get it confirmed you should visit an oral surgeon who will take an x-ray and get the confirm diagnosis.
So better you visit him today only.
Take care
