Hi and thanks for using the forum.

You may need to see your doctor if the swelling does not improve.  In the meantime, you could try taking ibuprofen to see if it helps and continue with the salt water gargle.  If you do not see any improvement over the next few days, then see your primary care doctor.  Good luck.
