Answers:
try to stay slightly propped up in bed when you sleep!. Im not saying like a 90 degree angle!.!. perhaps a 35 or 40 degree angle!. That worked out well for me!. Make sure you don't drink through a straw!. lol!.!.!. i almost ripped out my stitches doing that!.

Did you just get it done today!? If so, the swelling will be A LOT better by tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yikes!!! flashback to how my english teacher looked after she had her wisdom extracted!. -___- i don't have anything to make the swelling go away faster, but i do hope it isn't infected, because my teacher had to go back to relieve pus that was collecting inside her gums!.!.!. just leave it alone and try not to get it infected!!! GET WELL SOON!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunitly there's nothing else you can do!. The swelling will go down with time!. Try not to press on your cheeks and just leave them alone!.
I know it sucks so much!. I had the worst time with mine!. I was spitting up wads of blood every five minutes!. I even fainted on the kitchen floor because I lost so much blood!. Fun times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try not to eat for a day or two,only take warm liquids,such as soup and only drink warm liquids!.a gargle with a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water should be of help!.do not swallow the gargle mixture!.dont rinse mouth for 1/2 hour!.all the best!.cheers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

good luck with that!. i know it's not an answer, but i just got mine out about 2 days ago !.!.!. the swelling went down on one side, but not the other !.!. it doesn't realy hurt that bad !.!. just a dull throb !.!. but its annoying!. but, best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your doing the right thing!. Not much else can help!. Ice is the best for swelling!. The Motrin is for pain!. Years ago people used pressure, like an elastic bandage, but that does not really work that well and can cause complications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

keep on putting the ice 30 minutes on 30 minutes off than tomorrow you need to start putting heat on it like Luke warm water take ibuprofen it helps alot got mines out may 16 been back to normalWww@Answer-Health@Com

if ur a smoker dont do that u will put a real hurtin on urself, put some ice on ur cheeks it does help a little and take the pain meds they gave uWww@Answer-Health@Com
