I did not put ice cause the doctor did not give me any instructions on what to do after i left. and my face was swollen and I mean really swollen. it went down after 4 days. I got my stitches taken out on the 9 day and was able to eat. However, I still feel a little swollen bump on my jaw where the wisdom teeth is removed. should i be worries ever though it doesn't hurt or brother me?Answer Question

I got mine out 20 days ago and the pain came back after two weeks and it was an infection so if anything starts bothering you go in right away to have them look at it. Infections of the mouth affect the heart. I still feel a little swollen there too so nothing to worry about. I think they take about two months to completely heal.
