Face swollen after major 4- hour dental surgery, bumps inside lips. Is this normal ?
Patient: Ok,I had major 4- hour dental surgery ,Mr face swelled aftierwards,and my lips ,swelled I just noticed the inside of my lips,little whit bumps that really hurt bad.just trying to figured out if that s an infection,or is that normal . I did have a fever for 4- days after dental surgery,and developed a small cold sore in the corner of my mouth on the right side. Doctor: having this sequelae is a common occurrence considering the length of the surgery. bone might also have been removed and soft tissue cut or incised, which results in such swelling. you could have some steroids such as dexamethasone along with antibiotics and painkillers. also use hexidine mouthwash and do warm saline gargles if possible thanks take care.
