This doesn't sound "fine" to me. If he has a swollen throat, swollen tongue, or jaw problems he needs to see a vet. Don't assume he's eating unless you actually see him eat. He may be hungry and can't do much about it. Let's look at some nutritional problems. If his jaw is tender or soft due to calcium imbalance he may not want to chew. An overdose as well as a deficiency can cause jaw problems. What do you supplement with and how often? How old is your UV light? They do stop producing UV after some time depending on what brand it is.

Is his mouth infected? Any signs of sores or inflammation back in his mouth? This will need antibiotic treatment. You are going to have to look inside his mouth to check this. From your pic his lips don't look swollen or infected, but there could be something going on farther inside.
