Infection?
Today i’m officially 6 days post extractions. I got all 4 pulled and for the last 2 days i’ve noticed a hard lump in my left cheek that hurts only if I touch it or put pressure. I been kinda putting it off cause since surgery my left cheek was always a little more swollen than my right… now it’s day 6 and my left cheek is still a little swollen while my right has gone down completely. I’m not in that much pain just if i’m too late to take ibuprofen my teeth get sensitive and the extraction sites feel sore on both sides. I can open my mouth and chew. I’m not 100% sure it’s an infection but from what i’ve read most people who have had a “lump” has said it turned out to be an infection and it was puss. I called the office I got the extrications done they told me I have to call my office first for a follow up because they’re my main and I couldn’t get an appointment till Thursday :/. Also I was prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin) and by Sunday I should be completed with those so I’m really not sure if I should be more concerned or wait it out? Anyone else experience a lump in their cheek?
