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.
