Hi, I had a tooth extraction 2 weeks ago. It was second from the back lower molar. It was a surgical extraction. I have been back to the dentist twice for dry socket, and now noticed my pain is generated from a lump on the jawline directly below the extraction site. Is this normal? What is the lump? I have to take tylenol or motrin all day, just to get through the day. Please help.
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, I would suggest you to get the extraction site examined by the concerned Dentist, take an IOWA x-ray of the region, take the complete course of antibiotics and analgesics, take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles, see if there is any broken root particle left in the socket if so it can be removed easily, maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope you find this as helpful, Take care!
