What Causes Swelling In Throat/tonsil When Wisdom Tooth Is About To Come Out?
Hi, since about a week back I noticed that my last wisdom tooth is starting to come out and today I woke up with a soar throat and my tonsil or lymph node (?) swollen on my right side (where the wisdom tooth is). Are these symptoms related and if so, what can I do to ease the pain and reduce the swelling in the throat?
