Hi...welcome to Chat Doctor forum...well, the swelling is due to infection caused by your broken wisdom tooth...and It's very common to have such type of swelling and infections due to wisdom tooth... wisdom tooth hardly plays any role in mastication... so please go for its extraction...and you are on right track because you are already on medication and going for extraction in few days... so don't worry take care....
