Clinical examination of the area of swelling has to be done..After removal of tooth swelling may be there for 7-10 days but even if it persists then get it checked from a dentist with proper x ray to see whether any broken part of tooth has been left in the place.

You need to visit a dentist for consultation. After wisdom tooth removal by surgical method, swelling can be there upto 2 weeks. Do not panic, it will subside slowly. If severe pain, few days after removal then you may be suffering from DRY SOCKET which will also take a while to subside.
