Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling over the face can be secondary the inflammation following multiple injuries over the face. The other possible cause can be secondary to hematoma. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take antiinflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase, which reduces the swelling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
