What Causes Lump On Jaw Post Wisdom Tooth Removal?

I had my wisdom teeth taken out 4 months ago and I still have a lump on my jaw. It doesn t hurt, but if I push hard on it, it ll ooze out inside my mouth. Lump will get smaller, but then come back a few days later. I don t have a fever so I don t know if it s an infection or not

A lump means there is a dormant infection in that area and requires appropriate treatment in the way of medication or drainage. Kindly see your dentist and get yourself examined.
