You should always be careful and take your cat to the vet, but if money is your issue then I suggest finding out the cause of why your cat's paw is swollen.
I looked online and it had a lot of reasons and the number one (that also applied to my cat) was a possible bug bite or bee sting. Usually the swelling will subside within a day or so if it was stung by a bee. Spiders/scorpions bites usually cause irritation around or on the pad of cat's paws. [Cat's bat at bugs so more than likely, if it's an outside cat, this is the case.]
