My son is 20 years old, and for years off and on he has had this swelling occur on the left side of his upper jaw, close to his ear. It hasn t happened in a couple of years until today. What can this be? He hasn t any tooth problems or ear aches, it s just really swollen and sore. NEVERMIND, I CAN T AFFORD 15.00 RIGHT NOW...THANK YOU ANYWAY.

Hello ,

Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic .

As far as soreness and swelling in left side of upper jaw region is concerned this can be due to temporomandibular disorder or wisdom tooth impaction . Dont be worried so much I will suggest you some measures : Avoid excessive mouth opening . Do hot formentation . Take medicine like Flexon MR or Myospaz forte by consulting with local doctor .
Consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and radiograph .
