Needs a check up and medication. Swelling usually takes a few days to go down but if there is pus also visit a dentist near you.

It seems that the injury that you had has got infected. It would have been easier to prescribe some medicines for the pain only and we would have waited for 7 to 10 days for the injury to heal, but you will require antibiotic course now and the appropriate medicines can be prescribed only after a proper clinical check up. If the wound is large, it might require suturing also.
You can visit my clinic in Sector 9 if you live nearby.
