A week ago I got an ingrown toenail removed but the swelling is still there, is that normal?

I am just wondering how long does it take for the swelling and redness to go away? I had the ingrown toenail removed (1/3 of the nail) exactly one week ago and the swelling has NOT gone down at all. It's the same as it was before the removal of the nail. I have been soaking my feet in warm, salt water everyday since last tuesday and I've been rubbing antibiotic ointment around my toe but nothing seems to help. Should I go see the doctor again?
