I am a 26 year old female with gum pain at the back of my mouth, and towards the throat. There is also a dull ache in my jaw. My gums in the back are swollen (only on the bottom, right hand side) and I feel a little discomfort when I swallow. What is the problem and what should I do to treat it? Thank you!
