How Long Does Infection Stay in Your Jaw After a Wisdom Tooth is Removed?

I have been on antibiotics for 8 days. The tooth has been out for going on 4 days. I can still feel a lump on my cheekbone and still have pain that is in my jaw and goes to my ear, but it's not severe. How long til this pain is gone and the infection is totally cleared up? It doesn't look like the socket is dry, it's moist and the hole is getting smaller everyday.
