As it is vaning off due to Antibiotics it is only because of the infection.
As your doc prescribed you another antibiotics you must go with it because most of the times people are resistant to some antibiotics may be in your case too.
As you have undergone Impaction treatment and perhaps post treatment infection, the swelling is only because of it. You don't need to worry.
Hope you will be healthy soon.
