Update:
The jaw swelling is a clogged salivary gland.
I've been prescribed an antibiotic, prednisone, and sour candy. The sour candy helps produce a lot of saliva to dislodge the stone clogging the gland.
And if that doesn't work, I need to see an ent doc who might perform minor surgery.

so sorry, Tyghe, it's so frustrating to go through this. Hope that fluids and antibiotics help, and if not, minor surgery will do, for sure. Sending good wishes for a quick resolve. 💛
