4 weeks after oral surgery to remove impacted molar. Still having mild swelling of the cheeks, and a swollen, tender lymph node (end of jaw, under the ear). Is this normal? Should I be returning to the dental surgeon?
Facial swelling aftre dental surgery?
Yes. While it is normal for some swelling to last awhile, the swollen lymph node could indicate an infection.
Reply:Swelling is normal, but I don't think that it is normal to have swelling so long after as in your case. If you have a tender lymph node I would definately call the dentist. best of luck to you.
Reply:i wonder u still here.... i can't believe that.... the swelling should disappear maximum by the first week... and 4 weeks means a problem...
u need to recall ur doctor........
Reply:i just got a tooth pulled 2 days ago it hurts huh.?!
i suggest if your still swollen to go back to the dentist. it shouldnt take a month to heal
Reply:Return to the surgeon, sounds like a brewing infection...
