Default Wisdom Teeth Extraction on 3/11/15

So I had my upper left and bottom 2 wisdom teeth removed along with 2 root canals and some fillings on 3/11/15. I had some issues with getting numb and they had to apply numerous times. Overall everything took about 2 hours and after the extraction was told to just not suck through a straw or smoke for 48 hours. I was prescribed Percocet for pain and no antibiotics.

I bled for the first 24 hours but everything seemed normal until I decided to brush my teeth friday night. I felt like I hit something on my right side and bled a little. Didn't really think anything of it.

I woke up on 3/14/15 with my right side of my face more swollen and now theres a hard lump on my jaw line. Now heres the fun part, my Dentist office is on spring break. I was given the receptionists number in case anything happened, so I called her up. She said she doesn't think its a dry socket because I'm not in any pain, but she prescribed me Cephalexin 500 mg 3x a day for a week. I was told if this hasn't gone down in size tomorrow morning to contact her again and I'll have to go to the on call dentist.

I don't see this going down by tomorrow morning.. I've only been taking antibiotics for about 24 hours now. And I'm having the taste of death in my mouth. I'm assuming this is infection. But what is this hard lump on my jaw?!?! Its halfway down from the extraction site and is more uncomfortable then painful. But I do get pain/pressure randomly in my teeth. And the lump hurts when touching it.

Help!
