Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It can be possible that you were having an abscess or cyst in relation to that infected tooth. After the extraction definitely the infection has relived, but swelling will be there. You should complete your antibiotic course and follow all the instructions given by the dentist it will take 5 to 7 days for swelling to reduce. If it does not reduce after that also then you should visit your dentist for the follow-up. Hope it will help you.
