Dental Question, Is this normal?!


Question: Dental Question, Is this normal!?
Ok so i had a molar pulled on 7/26 and a wisdom tooth pulled on 8/4 all on the bottom and the same side!. My question is i still have alittle swelling and a small lump/knot on that side , the knot/lump is sortof on my jawbone!. The knot/lump is not painful nor getting any bigger!. Before i had the teeth pulled my cheek would swell about the same as it is now but only when the teeth would start hurting , i really never paid that much attention if the swelling went down!. The wisdom tooth was decayed along with the molar so i know its better off now that they are out!! I was on penicllin with the first molar extraction then 5 days later he had me come back in because i called and told them about the knot/lump and swelling so he switched me to keflex 500mg been on it since 7/31 but told me everything looked good , is there a reason why the swelling has not went down , it is not getting worse but isnt going down!. I called back yesterday and talked with my dentist and he said finish all the antibotics and it the lump or swelling gets worse call him , well it aint getting worse but how long could it take to go down and for the lump to go away , i did smoke after i had them pulled , not to smart i know !.!. And please dont say its cancer or etc because i done ruled that out!! Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You can have your dentist take a look at things!. Most likely the swelling is from the trauma of the two extractions!. Sometimes swelling from extractions takes a while to go down!. It does not sound like you have an infection!. Be patient!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
