It sounds like an allergic reaction - possibly from an insect bite or even contact with a plant.  You can give benadryl (diphenhydramine) at the rate of 1 mg per pound of your dog's body weight.  Make certain it is plain benadryl only, with no added decongestant.

If the swelling is worse in 24 hours, you can't avoid a trip to the vet.  Keep an eye out for any further allergy-related problems like labored breathing.  That would require emergency care.
