Hi. The swelling can be due to various reasons. It could be due to some gum disease in the area.
Such swelling may also appear in case of infection related to adjacent tooth.
Next Steps
I would recommend using some mouthwash and warm saline rinses for 2-3 days.
If swelling persists, visit a Dr dentist
Health Tips
Try to press the swelling. If pus comes out, you need to visit a dentist
