Lower jaw pain

My lower jaw, throat, neck started hurt yesterday and increased so that no amount of aspirin or advil helped the pain.  The day before I had  'squeezed a samll cyst on the left side of my chin.  This morning my whole L lower jaw and lip are swollen and painful to the touch, inside and out.  I want to find out what this is, have it treated and get something for the excruciating pain.  I can't tell if this is dental or cyst/infection related and therefore don't know who to call, doctor or dentist.  Neither are in the office yet.  Can you make any suggestions?
Thanks
