Don't panic! This is one of the complication of wisdom tooth extraction.
Apply ice-pack 2-3 times on that region.
Apply T-Bact ointment on the injury 3-4 times a day and keep the injured area clean before applying the ointment.
Apply Dologel ointment inside your mouth at injured region 2-3 times after meals and after rinsing your mouth.
Next Steps
Take Diclofenac sodium+Paracetamol combination for pain & fever twice a day for 5 days.
Antibiotics twice a day for 5 days.
Health Tips
Do warm saline rinses 5-6 times/day for 2-3 weeks.

Hie.. swelling after extraction of wisdom tooth increases by the third day of extraction.. after that slowly it decreases..
fever could be because of this event..
On external surface: apply ice pack for 6 hours intermittently and also apply T-bact ointment twice a day rather than betadine ointment..
Inside the mouth: metrogyl ointment will work
Medicine: take dolo 650 for fever (SOS)
Antibiotics course has already been started by your dentist..
u can take chymoral forte tablet twice a day for 3 days
Next Steps
Don’t let the area wet or moist ... avoid hot and spicy food for next 3 days..
Health Tips
Do warm saline rinses after 24 hours from the time of extraction.. 2-3 times a day

Apply ice pack pressure over the swelled up area extraorally as many times possible.
Those ointments are ok to use. Make sure to not apply betadine ointment inside your lips.
Metrogyl DG gel can be applied intraorally.
T bact ointment application extraorally even more effective.
