No it doesn't. When I had a wisdom tooth in the bone removed I swelled up after so bad I looked like I had the mumps lol. Day 3 to day 6 about.
Ask your dentist, but don't get freaked out, it is probably normal.

I would contact your dentist regarding this, as it does sound like the beginning of an infection.
