Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The severe tooth pain and swelling is because of the tooth infection. Nothing to be panic, you can give him a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and analgesics like ibuprofen(if you are not allergic). Do not give any hot fomentation over the swelling. Do saline gargling. You need to take radiographs to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
