My chewawa has a puffed up face like swelling a human would have when they have a severe tooth ache. Unknown if she had a run in with another animal. Should I attempt to treat her face with ice. So far she does not react violently.

Sounds like an infected tooth to me – she needs to be seen by a vet.  She will most likely be placed on antibiotics to fight the infection so the swelling can go down, then she may need a root canal to prevent a more serious problem from developing.

It might be an insect bite, or an animal bite.

Please get her to a vet as soon as possible so you can get to the root of the problem.
