Hallo,
How long has passed wince you have pulled your top tooth out? This doesn’t happened always but there are cases where your face will swell after the tooth is pulled out. Now there are not many things that can help with the reduction of swelling but as you already mentioned you can use cold packs and hot packs. You can also wash out your mouth with warm water. The water can sometimes be salty but you should discuss this with your dentist because of the state of your wound. You might feel pain if the salt is applied on the wound so don’t do this until your wound is closed for good. I hope this helped a bit.
Regards,
Karen
