What Causes Mouth Lumps With Swelling, Numbness And Cramping After Teeth Extraction?
Why are there big lumps on both sides of my mouth. It feels swollen and big and when I touch it, it feels like it is really numb on the outside. Also my mouth feels really cramped on the inside. Is this normal after a wisdom teeth extraction on all 4 wisdom teeth?

Hello, it is very common for those swellings to occur after wisdom tooth extraction. It generally takes a few days to subside.
You can apply ice packs on your cheeks from the outside to help reduce the swelling.
Your mouth is probably feeling cramped on the inside because of the swelling. Once the swelling reduces, your mouth should feel normal.
