Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

The swelling can be because of some allergies, also check for any decayed tooth or impacted wisdom tooth.
A thorough clinical examination along with necessary x-rays is required.
Ask the patient to take lukewarm saline rinses.
Ask the patient to quit smoking and alcohol consumption.

Hope this helps out,

Regards.
