Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in jaw on right side can be due to a number of causes and in case if tooth infection is not the cause then it can be due to problems related to jaw joint also known as TMJ/TMD..
It can also be due to infection in salivary gland and if the pain is in upper jaw then it can be due to sinus infection or Sinusitis..
Consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and appropriate x rays like Panoramic x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen.
Take a soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
