Wisdom Teeth Swelling?!


Question:

Wisdom Teeth Swelling?

Hi, I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, it's almost been 48 hours, and I was wondering if anyone (who has had this done) knows about how long it is before the swelling starts to go down? I had all four extracted and I look like a chimpanzee!
The wasn't as bad today, so that's good, but about the swelling....any help is appreciated!

The PAIN wasn't bad today....(typo)


Answers:

It peaks at around day 3 then should come down then. Mines came down on day 4. A warm towel helps (ice only for the first 24 hours). Also, when you sleep or lay down, prop yourself up with a few pillows. And keep up with the pain meds. It should come down soon. =)
