Swelling might be due the deep cavity which has already involved the nerve..
Next Steps
Visit nearby pediatric dentist who will take a x ray for that tooth. If it's a milk tooth without much resorption of roots and if it's restorable root can treatment followed by crown is advisable otherwise extraction and space maintainer if required..
