Puffiness And Soreness In The Jaw Line. Wisdom Teeth Removed. Is It Normal?

Hi, I'm Jalyn. My four wisdom teeth were extracted six days ago. Two impacted, two PBI. I'm still a bit puffy along my jaw line and a pulsating pain where the bottom two were, and my jaw is super sore as well as the back of my head and neck.
I'm pretty sure this is normal; Its just that I've read too much about online and everyone's story is different so it makes me a little nervous. I would really like your opinion on it if you don't mind. Thank you.

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would like tell you that wisdom tooth extraction is not a simple procedure and often associated with post extraction complications like pain, swelling, difficulty in mouth opening, numbness, fever, malaise.
You dont worry about the symptoms they will subside after sometimes.
Follow the post operative instructions given by the Dentist properly.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Take care.
