Hi,
Could you please tell us that is swelling limited to just around localized area or is it generalized.
Keeping in mind the age of your Son, it could be related to erupting permanent teeth.
Better consult some local dentist as visual inspection will make it more clear.
Time being you can give Alum water rinse ( Dissolve some Alum in warm water and ask your son to rinse with this)

He might be suffering from gingivitis. Must be needing oral prophylaxis. Take advise from some, good pedodontist. Meanwhile help him maintain oral hygiene, and do warm saline rinses.

hello, will you able to tell us that swelling is present in only some part of mouth or it is present overall mouth?
It might be because of erupting permanent teeth.
Consult nearest dentist.IT might be because of gum infection.

get it checked by an expert as it can be a simple gum infection or tooth eruption region or abscess in a tooth due to caries.
