My son had his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday he is experiencing swelling and jawbone on the outside feels like someone punched him, his gums are tender, also stitches feel tight, his jawbone hurts on the inside but more nuisance pain  but certain positions make the stitches feel like they are pulling no excurating pain
Hello, Pain and swelling just a day after a wisdom tooth extraction is not abnormal. It is commonly seen due to inflammation of tissues post-extraction, and at times swelling also occurs due to hematoma formation. So all the symptoms that he is facing are not abnormal and will get better in a period of about a week to ten days. So, for now, he should do cool compresses over the swelling. Take a combination of antibiotics like Augmenting and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. After 48 hours start doing warm saline gargles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
