What Causes A Hard Bump On The Jaw After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

I had my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. I am in more pain today than Tuesday. I have a large round hard bump on my right side of my jaw. Today was the first day I ate soup. I've been drinking ensure and water. If it's not better by tomorrow, I'm going to call my dentist. Do you have any idea what's going on

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the hard bump in the jaw is concerned, following wisdom tooth removal, if there is too much damage to the lymphatics may result in swelling, this usually reduces in 3-4days tie. nothing to be panic, you can take antiinflammatory d rugs like serratiopeptidase. If it is not subsiding in a week time, then consult your dentist.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
