I would need more information to even comment about the jaw pain. To begin with your age, other associated symptoms like fever with swelling of the jaw would indicate infection. To know the root cause of the pain you will need to consult a dentist. After examing you he may ask for an x-ray to rule out an impacted tooth or infection of the root canal.You can take pain killers like combiflam to temporarily alleviate the pain but the cause for the pain needs to be determined for permanent relief. when taking painkillers please be cautious to take them after a meal to prevent gastritis
