output: hello warm saline gargles do help to reduce swelling and inflammation you may do it till you see your ent tomorrow meanwhile tonsillitis will not cause jaw pain however if frequent tonsillitis occurs it may cause swelling up of lymph nodes below your jaw which may be the cause of pain in your it scan report it is mentioned that you have some sinus inflammation sinus inflammation especially in the maxillary sinuses may cause pain in the face and also pressure feeling in the upper jaw probably you may be noticing that meanwhile for a better understanding of the condition I want some more details regarding the problem when and how it started does it cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing any pain while swallowing any fever any visible swelling in the neck any point of tenderness anywhere on the jaw any thick nasal discharge and running nose or nose block any decrease in sense of smell etc
