What Causes Small Lump In Area Of Shot After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I have a small ball inside my cheek after a wisdom tooth extraction. I believe it is in the same place that one if the shots were given because I experienced very sharp pain at the time. It's been 3 and a half weeks since the surgery and I am getting concerned. Do you know what this might be?

hello thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
the small ball kind of tissue could be a fibrosed injection site, where the tissue becomes firm or hard. the pain will be there at the site of injection for a week. nothing to worry about it. you can use topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4times daily. do saline gargling.
i hope my answer will help you. take care.
