How to treat a painful lump after teeth extraction?
Patient: I had 4 wisdom teeth extraction surgary and the doc dis not give antiboitc so in third day the sweilng got so much larger and there is like a soft pump in my left cheek and pain whine i touch it from the outside and strang terrible taste what shoul i do ? Severe swelling to surgery Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.Pain and increased swelling after few days of extraction is due to the non healing of the socket . I would advice* You will need a course of antibiotics which can include amoxicillin thrice daily for 5 days and tab metrolag along with ibuprofen for pain ( if you are not allergic to any medicines).Please visit dentist and get a prescription for this medicines .* Use saline water gargling and avoid vigorous gargling .*Do not use hot bag from the cheek surface ,use cold compress moist for the swelling.*Evaluate the status with your dentist and if needed get the abscess drained and that will later induce the healing.*Maintain a good oral hygiene.Hope this was helpful.Thanks and regards.
