How To Cure Swelling Around Throat And Jaw After Retrieval Of Wisdom Tooth?

Hi there.



I had my wisdom teeth removed about three weeks ago. I had all four removed. I was swollen about three days after . . . nothing major. I felt no pain etc. It was easier than a root canal.



I have just noticed some sweliing in my throat/neck area and around my jaw line a bit . . . I'm in not pain, it's just not very comfortable.



I've been rinising with salt water 4 to 5 times a day.



Is there anything else I should be doing?



I contacted my oral surgeon as well, and they said this is normal . . .



Is there anything else I should be doing?



Thanks.

If there's a swelling on the outside region of face I can use hot compresses to relieve the swelling. an anti inflammatory tablet might help.rest nothing much needs to be done.
