Is the swelling normal and will itgo away after the 10 days I am taking this drug?
Swelling occurs more commonly in case of wisdom tooth extraction or in case of surgical tooth extraction.  Swelling is comparatively less in case of simple or closed tooth extraction procedures. Laceration of soft tissue, trauma to the bone, careless retraction of the flaps and irritation by fragmented bone are common causes of excessive swelling.  After 2 days of tooth extraction procedure, the swelling reaches maximum. The post-operative instructions of the dentist explain about the ways to reduce the swelling after tooth extraction.
