Maybe you have eaten something hard or very hot. Just stop touching or irritating it. Then it will subside in 2-3 days.
Also there is natural elevation in that area called as incisive papilla. It may not be swelling.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination if the swelling doesn't subside.
