Hi susannah,
It would be best to call the oral surgeon today and describe your swelling. The antibiotics you are currently taking may or may not be helpful. They may want to see you sooner than next week.
Please let us know how you're doing!

Do I need any treatment immediately or will it wait? I feel generally unwell.
