Pain in the roof of the mouth

Five days ago I bit into a tortilla chip which cut the top of my mouth. I am still feeling pain and noticed that the top of my mouth is swollen. Can this be infected?

It probably has a local inflammatory process going on and more than likely it will heal in 7 to 10 days.If it does not get better see you dentist.
