I was doing arms workout 2 days back and i did bicep curls with 3 kgs weight in each hand. My right bicep is swollen today. Yesterday it was just muscle tiredness but today it got swollen. I am doing icing. Is it a serious injury? What else should i do?

Commonly after workout these symptoms can be seen . Continue rest, icing and take plenty of fluids. But rarely there can be tear in biceps, which can be confirmed by clinical and radiological examination. 
Next Steps
u can get a video consultation which will help to rule out serious problems
