i think it is the body/bacteria. I had blood poisioning once and while in the hospital and on antibiotics a had spontanious and random swelling. My lip got big and ichy and on different places on my skin would develop and raised red blotch. i was given an over the counter for the swelling and the antibiotic was changed. Though this was the highlight of the swelling, leading up to my time in the hospital i noticed the same on my ass. It appeared and was gone quickly. It might have something to do with the body resisting it.

How long does it take swelling to go down after tooth infection?

I've had tooth infections that cause my cheeks to swell like a chipmunk. If you get the right antibiotic it can be as little as 2 doses - 24 hours for the swelling to go down. Sometimes it can take 3 or 4 doses to go down - about 48 hours. If you have been on an antibiotic for 3 days and there is no change in the swelling, you should call your doctor. You may need a stronger antibiotic or a different class of antibiotics.

Can an ear infection cause pain outside the ear and cause a swollen face?

Absolutely. An infection typically causes swelling and pain, and if it is not treated, or if the antibiotic is not working quickly enough, the swelling and pain can spread. Another common ailment that causes swelling and pain on the face could be a tooth infection. If you have not seen a doctor already, please do so as soon as you can, because infections spread if not treated, and can get into your blood and cause severe problems (plus, it's just going to hurt worse and worse).
