What Does A Lump On The Right Side Of The Face Indicate?

I noticed a lump (swelling) on my right side of the face. Could this be related to salivary duct obstruction?
I had this before, about two years ago. I became anxious and went to the ER. No medication was prescribed. They told me to chew some lemon or buy some bitter candy. This did the trick then.
This time I applied an ice pack, and followed the same medical advice as before.
Please, advise...
