Mouth Dry And Gums Sore After Quitting Smoking With Swollen Right Side Of Face

I quit smoking almost 2 months ago. At first, I felt really good. But the last two weeks, my mouth has been so dry. My gums are sore the right side of my face and jaw ache. Today, I woke up feeling just awful. The whole right side of my face aches, my lymph nodes are swelled, and I'm coughing up phlegm.
