What Causes Sudden Swelling In The Lower Cheek On The Right Side?

Just began to experience sudden swelling right lower cheek area. What could be causing this? I was eating lunch and felt some discomfort in that area when I was swallowing. I reached up and felt that area and was shocked to feel the swelling! It is quite noticeable when I looked in the mirror.
