Mouth swelling: Perhaps it is a lymph node that was helping to fight the virus you had or perhaps a tooth abscess. If persists past two weeks have it examined by a healthcare worker.

Need to be seen: Was likely represents an enlarged lymph node or a salivary gland. If it enlarges, becomes painful or does not resolved within the next few weeks it would be necessary for you to have it examined
