Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

This might be dry socket (Alveolar osteitis) , a painful phenomenon that most commonly occurs a few days following the removal of mandibular (lower) wisdom teeth.

It occurs because the blood clot within the healing tooth extraction site is disrupted.

A dry socket typically causes a sharp and sudden increase in pain commencing 2–5 days following the extraction of a mandibular molar, most commonly the third molar.

Because dry socket is not an infection, the use of antibiotics has no effect on it. You can take anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen after discussing with your dentist.

Regards

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I would like to tell you that wisdom teeth extraction is not a simple extraction.Its somewhat complicated surgical procedure & there are many post extraction effects that are seen like:-
-prolonged numbness due to local anaesthesia effect
-pain
-swelling
-difficulty in opening mouth
-fever
-malaise
You don't need to worry for any of these symptoms.
But as you described about lump, it needs to get properly ruled out.If its bleeding & troubling then better to get a biopsy done.Your complete history is required about that lump like its size, consistency, nature of bleeding.It can be dry socket if have smoking habit & you did that after extraction.Consult your oral surgeon as soon as possible.
Take some rest & start with amoxiclav-625 twice a day along with zerodol-SP twice a day.Also take some multivitamin & antacid like rabeprazole 20 mg if acidity persists.Take all this for 5 days.
Along with that start warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day & betadine gargles.

Take Care
