It could be an auto-immune, allergic, systemic,bacterial, or viral reaction. Your lymphatic system could be responding to possible influx of UTI related bacteria into your bloodstream.
I would call your Dr. to be safe. Describe these symptoms & see if this reaction falls into the category of adverse side effects of your antibiotic. You may need to switch antibiotics.
Whatever the end result, it is always best to double-check with your Dr. to get the best diagnosis. He may also need to see you again in the office to examine your jaw or do further testing. Good luck!
