Bacterial infection

Do you know if it can go away on its own especially if it hasn’t gotten to the point where the patient isn’t feeling any pain yet?

Pain not even during swallowing food ?

Yes, more of an annoyance but the patient isn’t experiencing any pain. They noticed the swelling this morning.

With or without redness?

A little red, there are no white spots that I can see either. Can strep trigger something like this? Also he is prone to allergic reaction could that also be a possibility?
