How To Treat Swelling In Neck Caused After Teeth Cleaning?

My husband had his teeth cleaned on Thursday. His neck started swelling under one side of his jaw with a small amount of pain. The swelling is not going down and is spread to the other side of the neck. How long should he wait to see a Dr. and is there anything we can do at home to stop the swelling.
