Swelling: Swelling needs to be examined>diagnosed>treatment planned. Could be TMJ issue. But more likely infection, blocked parotid gland duct, neoplasm, calcification, and many other possibilities. See Oral Surgeon or ENT. Obviously just trying to wait it out is not a successful treatment modality.
