Hai.swelling is common after removal of wisdom tooth. You have to take the antibiotics prescribed by your dentist till completing the course. Gargle with salt water frequently. If knot still there even after 4-5 days, use Betadine solution or sodium hypochlorite solution to irrigate that area. Take care.
