Need more information for further comments.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic,

It could be infection of parotid gland or lymph node but it will be very difficult to comment exactly without clinical examination.

So,it would be helpful for me if you can take the picture of the swelling and send it to me.I will go through it and will guide you accordingly.

Also,let me know if you have symptoms of fever,pain or any other.

Since when you have noticed this swelling?

Kindly get back to me with more information.

Regards,
