I got my wisdom tooth in lower left jaw pulled on friday it was causing me pain and I thought they were only going to look at it but I guess after seeing the xrays and the pain I was in they decided to pull it that day well there was pain and some swelling which I thought was normal but since then my cheek has blown up and so has underneath my jaw where a bruise has formed i do believe theres some infection in there and I have been taking antibiotics but should i be scared
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that swelling following extraction of wisdom tooth is quite common, and it usually subsides in 3 -5 days. But a bruise can be from local anesthesia which also subsides on its own. Kindly continue with the education as prescribes by your dentist, also apply cold compresses on the cheek over the swelling, perform warm saline rinses (3-4) times/day. I will advise you to see your dentist for a follow-up check-up. Do not worry, you will be fine. See your dentist soon, i hope I answered your query, take care.
