It could be an ear infection. One morning during Christmas time last year I woke with a slight ear ache, next thing my cheek and eye on the same side was swollen with a large red patch. The swelling spread.

A couple of months back it happened again but swelling appeared below and around my ear that time. I was concerned it could spread and create havoc with my throat and airways. Both times my Doctor prescribed Sofradex ear drops. Swelling and ear ache was gone within a couple of days.
