Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the dental infection, secondary to the fracture or caries tooth.
As you said you are out of the reach of doctors, i advise you to gargle with luke warm salt water twice daily will give you some relief.
If possible i advise you to consult a dentist to have a intraoral X ray for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have extraction of the tooth.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
