The answer
Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet. Since you mention it is swollen, we strongly recommend that you go see a doctor to get checked out as it may be an infection and requires medicine to get better.
If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
