Call your dentist: The infection may still be present, there may be a new infection, and either seems to be spreading. You may need a different antibiotic and/or drainage of the abscess. Please call now.

ConsultYourDentist: If the swelling is worse then I suggest you consult and get your extraction site checked by your dentist
