I would go to the hospital now before it swells, because swelling could be a sign of infection. Even though hospital can't do anything density wise, they'll give you pain meds and possibly something to prevent the swelling/infection.
Also, you can just go to an urgent care center instead if you want. They're significantly cheaper than the hospital/ER, and you'll get in pretty fast.
