The cause of swellings are many. The swelling specific to you is impossible to diagnose based on a couple of photographs and the description given.
If the cause is due to a tooth infection or an infection of an area surrounding a tooth, you need to visit a dentist to treat it.
However, Temporary relief can be obtained (if the cause is inflammatory in origin) by anti inflammatory medication which can be purchased over the counter, at a medical store.
Next Steps

Health Tips
Do not apply heat, cold or pressure to the area without knowing the cause of the swelling

This is a space infection which is caused by the spread of infection from a tooth when its treatment is delayed for a long time. Please do not experiment with your health by searching out for home remedies for this problem. Visit a dentist as soon as possible so that the origin of this infection can be identified and treated objectively so that the symptoms are alleviated permanently.
Regards.

Hello, since this is an extra-oral picture showing the cheek from outside, we can not comment on your condition in the absence of pictures of inside mouth. None the less, the swelling is appreciable and I suspect any decayed tooth inside the mouth on the same side.
I would strongly advise you to consult a dentist in person to get treatment at the earliest to avoid any further damage.
Also pls refrain from using any home remedy, it can exaggerate your problem.

Next Steps
