i meant to say "will the swelling get LARGER"

I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed because of them being impacted, they had grown downward into the jaw bone. I could say the third day was the hardest because by then the numbness was wearing off and that had helped control the pain.

My swelling started almost immediately. If you do start to get swelling, put some ice packs on it. That will also help control the pain.

The swelling lastest for about a week, I looked like I had been in a fight and got the worst part of the punches.

The swelling was about as large as it was going to be at about the third day but I kept ice packs on like I was told. You do need to take them off every ten minutes or so but I couldn't stand the pain without them. So I had them on longer and more often than I was told.
