Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth now you feel like swollen cheek and locked jaw , after extraction of wisdom tooth swelling happens wait for one week if it is remains same then consult your dentist for oral examination.
Do follow post operative instructions given by your dentist
Take proper course of antibiotics prescribed .
Hope this will help you.
