I had my wisdom teeth removed on Friday December 27,2013 and I had little pain after the procedure. I had swelling on my lower left side and on Sunday that swelling was gone, however, now there is a hard lump on my jaw ? What can I do to get rid of it sooner, Ive taken my antibiotics and ibuprofen and warm compresses. What can I do or should I go see the dentist again?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have hard swelling after extraction don't worry it can be due to Bony spicules present.  For this you should consult dentist and go for oral examination.  Do Luke warm salt gargle two - three times a day.  Hope this will help you.  Wishing you good health.
