If it's getting swollen or inflamed, see your doctor. As soon as possible. If there's inflammation it's likely to be infected and will keep getting worse. If so, your doctor should be able to prescribe painkillers and antibiotics.
If the tooth need to be pulled but your face is too swollen up, your dentist won't be able to perform an extraction so you'll just be waiting longer anyway.
I had a sudden and serious infection in a wisdom tooth a few years ago. It took very little time for the infection to affect half my face; it had very nearly reached the glands in my neck before the antibiotics took effect. Not something that should be underestimated.
