Read your query.
Are any of your front teeth mentioned decayed?Did you have any history of trauma in that region?
The swelling can be due to any decay or trauma in the area .I would advice you to visit the oral surgeon at the earliest and get it checked.Taking only pain killers will not heal the swelling.You will require the treatment of the tooth (root canal treatment).Antibiotics may be required like amoxicillin 500mg on prescription by the dentist
Do salt water gargling.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
