Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling could be because a inflammatory origin due to the impact during trauma or it can be secondary to a fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done like PNS or PA view to rule out any fractured bone. Meanwhile you can give cold and hot fomentation over the swelling alternatively every 10seconds for 1-2 minutes.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
