hanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling over the face following extraction of the wisdom tooth could be because of the inflammatory response secondary to the bone cutting or damage to the lymphatics which normally removes the excess fluid from the body. The swelling should come down in 2days time. You complete the course of antibiotics and take analgesic with antiinflammatory drugs like tablet enzoflam. Do saline gargling. If the swelling does not reduce in 2-3 days then consult a oral physician to rule out any infection in the extracted socket region. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
