Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the jaw, teeth and lymph node is concerned, the possible cause being the wisdom tooth infection which has resulted in pus formation and spread to involve sift tissues. This results in space infection causing difficulty in swallowing. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole combination (if you are not allergic) which is very effective in teeth infection.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
