Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone wisdom tooth extraction now you have swelling dont worry after removal of wisdom tooth swelling occurs .
If your swelling last for more than one week then consult your dental surgeon again and go for oral examination .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day .
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
