Might be related to the salivary gland. Obstruction or trauma can cause swelling. See your dentist immediately.
Health Tips
Meanwhile keep sipping on water and keep yourself hydrated. You may try sucking on sour candies too but treat this as an emergency and see your dentist

It could be a Mucocele caused due to biting of minor salivary gland duct which causes retention of saliva. Nothing to worry. We can do a surgical excisional biopsy or Laser surgery to treat this lesion. Still please visit a oralmedicine specialist in your region to confirm and treat the lesion.
