Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
After removal of tooth, the socket takes time in healing, at the time of healing there is slight swelling on the face atleast for 3 to 5 days.
If the swelling does not go after that also then you have to consult your doctor, till then continue with the medications and precautions.
Hope it will help you.
