thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling in the lower jaw could be a cellulitis secondary to tooth infection. consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done in relation to the affected site to rule out tooth infection. if it is because of the tooth infection then it can treated with antibiotics followed by restoration or extraction of the tooth. i hope my answer will help you. take care
