Hey there,
Don’t worry.. this swelling could be because of food lodgment or an infection associated with the tooth near the swollen gum.
It will subside once we treat the cause but for that a check up is necessary.
Next Steps
Visit us in marathahalli or any specialist for a quick check up to confirm the reason for swelling and get appropriate treatment.

You've given very little information to go by with. I would suggest you to consult with a dentist either online or physically.
