Please let me know what happened to you! And how you recovered!
I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed about one week ago (wednesday). The first four days went as expected: minimal pain, some swelling- but really not that bad. Then on about the 5th day(sunday) I began to swell a lot on the right side and it was hard, with lots of pain. It was also warm. I went to my surgeon yesterday(monday), he gave my an anitbiotic, and drained the infection. But the hard lump didn't go away. Since getting the antibiotics yesterday morning, it looks like I have a golfball in my cheek and i can barely touch it. The swelling really hasn't gone down, and the pain is the same. I had to leave the country to go to school, i'm now in costa rica, so I can't go back to my surgeon.
Will this subside this week? Could it be more than an infection?
