How long should swelling last after wisdom teeth extraction?

Yesterday morning, I got my wisdom teeth extracted. I’ve been following the order of things, Ice packs all day yesterday and last night, and warm wash cloths/salt water rinse today and my pain has gone down significantly. I’m only concerned because my swelling has increased. My jaw bone seems to be about 25% larger this morning than when I went to bed last night. Is that normal? How long is normal for swelling to go on?

Mine took 5-7 days
