Hello sir,
Nothing to worry about the swelling will subside in sometime.
To reduce swelling:
Apply ice packs in 15-minute intervals
Rinse with warm salt water
Avoid strenuous activities
Stay hydrated, and eat soft foods.
If swelling persists or worsens, visit your dentist for further treatment.

The swelling you have could be due to remaining inflammation present which will subside over a period of time with proper anti-inflammatory medication. Without more details it is difficult to come to a conclusion.
