You have an infection in the gums maybe because of the gums or a particular tooth. You would require antibiotics and treatment for the problem. Do visit a dentist as soon as possible . Fever may be because of this

So basically your description points to the fact that you don't only have an infection in the gums but it has spread beyond the confines of the gums and has involved the bone and the adjoining muscles leading to restricted mouth opening or trismus. Presence of fever also indicates disseminated infection which is no more localised to that area only.
Medications will only provide temporary symptomatic relief and the symptoms are bound to reappear after the medications are stopped.
So the most prudent step will be to visit a dentist for a proper case evaluation so that the right treatment can be suggested based on the diagnosis.
Regards.
