What Causes Lumps After Tooth Extraction?

Hi there, I had two wisdom teeth take out 4 days ago, and there is still a lump where the dentist put the needle to make me numb. I am a bit worried as it hurts more then the holes where my teeth were, and I had cancker sores before I went in (but were cleared up before I went to dentist, plus on opposite side).
The side that hurts, the tooth was a little harder to come out as was close to breaking off, but came out fine in the end. I am not sure if cancker sore or infected, and dentist put of my appointment due to power cut.
Please help!

Hi
With your query, I think you had a too much bone removed for your extraction so only you have swelling don worry it will subside within in week time stil if it is not then consult your dentist. Hope you are on antibiotics and analgesics with serratiopeptidase which helps in reducing the swelling. H
