Suggest Remedies For Swollen Face And Redness Inside Mouth After Teeth Surgery
I has wisdom teeth removal surgery over two weeks ago and while the right side of my face is no longer swollen and has returned to normal, the left side is still puffy, drooping and red on the inside. Is this a sign of infection? What should I do to fix it as soon as possible?

Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query. You did not mention which side wisdom tooth you got removed. However, there can be little inflammation following that which goes in 2-3 weeks. Warm saline rinses, gum pain, antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs help which your dentist must have prescribed you.
If symptoms persist, follow up with your dentist for check up and treatment if required.
Hope this answer helps. Thank you.
