Suggest Remedies For Constant Pain In My Jaw After An Injury

While brushing my teeth a week ago, I slipped and jammed my toothbrush into my left lower gum, on the tongue side, right below my back two teeth. It has gotten worse and worse and I can t chew on that side. Yesterday, it hurt from my eye down to my throat. What have I done?! How do I fix it?
