thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the swelling could be secondary to tooth infection causing periapica abscess or gum infection causing periodontal abscess.. consult a oral physician and take radiographs of that region...take a course of antibiotics and get the teeth restored with RCT or normal filling depending on the tooth infection.. i hope my answer will help you,, take care.
