Put a cool pack on it and see if the swelling goes down.
If not you might be best phoning NHS direct.

We live in a world so scared of upsetting others feelings that the idiots are allowed to rule. Goodbye intelligence.

Insect bite?
You could try some insect bite cream on it.
If it was a horsefly bite, they can really swell up.
