Could be a blocked salvery gland. Had a pup with the that. If that's what it is nothing to worry about.

Could just be reaction to the shot or as mentioned above a blocked saliva gland but it also the first symptoms to show up in puppy strangles. Watch for sores on the muzzle and in the in and around the ears sometimes a few on the back/ upper back area and swelling of the face. It is treatable more to just control the symptoms and to prevent secondary skin infections like staph. The 2 that I treated I used the steriod predisone to help suppress the immune system response and sulfatrimethazone an antibiotic that it good at fighting infection in skin issues. If it does develope sores you can use a triple antibiotic cream but I prefer sulfur mixed with a carrier oil, coconut mixed with vitamin E works the best. If you notice any of the above symptoms see your vet for the prescription meds. It may take a while for it to go away but there are no long term problems with future performance because of it. Some dogs are left with scarring from the sores. It is rare and some vets don't recognize the symptoms right away. It is not contagious but if it does develope any skin sores I would isolate it in its own kennel because some of the secondary skin infections like staph are.
