There are many potential causes, ranging from anaphylactic shock to trauma to infection to cancer. The time frame of the swelling, age and medical history of the dog and geographic location can help narrow this down, but it would take a veterinarian physically examining your dog to make a good diagnosis.

It might be an infection, or an allergic reaction to something. Your best bet is to take it to the vet.

It could be an injury, an insect bite or some sort of dental infection. Regardless, a trip to the vet is in order.
