<human>: Hello, I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted last Saturday (11 days ago).  Healing has been going well with minimal pain and soreness but today I ran my tongue along my top right gum and noticed a large bump protruding from the gum where the tooth used to be.  I do still have some slight discomfort on that side although I wouldnt call it pain and it is not overally painful to the touch.  I have a follow up appointment this coming Saturday with my oral surgeon but am wondering what this could be and if I should call my regular dentist tomorrow.  I know that this could be bone but it is pretty large and am wondering if it could be anything else.  Any information you could provide would be appreciated.  Thank you.
<bot>: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness or the large bump could be a blood clot that has formed in the socket or a socket granuloma. Nothing to worry its normal. The socket will get healed in 15 days. If the pain persists even after a week then consult an oral physician and take an opinion. Do saline gargling and maintain oral hygiene. Continue the course of antibiotics. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
