Hello doctor,
I have wisdom tooth extraction pain. I got my wisdom tooth removed a month ago. I feel a lump along my jawbone that hurts on and off.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Get an X-ray done to find out if the wound is healing fine or some root is remaining inside. Usually, after a week, the wound should have healed adequately and there should be no swelling or pain unless it is infected. Start taking an antibiotic and painkillers for a week to reduce infection. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week or two.
