Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
WIth your information on the swelling, it looks like a fast growing (by what you have said) and is most likely of infective origin.
Please do not wait for it to enlarge further.
Please consult a surgeon soon and take medicines.
If you ignore that, it can become an abscess.
Do feel your self for any fever.
Hope this helps.
