What Causes Painful Lump In The Mouth Post Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Hi my husband had his lower wisdom tooth extracted yesterday morning, no need for stitches as the tooth came out easily enough but today a large hard lump has come up on the inside of his cheek which is painfully to touch. I ve read different opinions on here about what it could be,some saying it could be a blood clot & others say maybe an infection. Would you agree?

I read carefully your problem . Your husband may have an infection after tooth removed . should consult with your dentist immediately because the infection can progress . need to receive antibiotics to fight infection . Thanks
