You need to see a doctor to be safe and certain, but in meantime I would use good hot water and salt, hold it in your mouth and repeat.

It could be an infection from your teeth or gums. Or you could have burned it when eating hot food. However, it is best to have it checked early. It is also a sign of cancer.

You should seriously get to a doctor's office immediately and have them scan you. It may be necessary to have a biopsy to rule out cancer.

Until you can see a dentist, you should avoid spicy or salty foods, alcohol and excessively hot beverages. If it is very swollen, you should seek emergency treatment immediately as your breathing could be blocked.
