What Could Be The Cause Of Sudden Swelling On Cheek?

Hi, within the past 20 minutes I have had a a lot of swelling on the right side of the cheek towards the front and it has gotten fairly large and numb. I was wondering if this could be an allergic reaction to something but I am not allergic to anything I ate, or at least I never have been before. Or could it be something else?
