[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint pain at the extraction site of wisdom tooth after 3 days is not an abnormal finding as pain can last for a week after extraction and is not abnormal. A lump over the jaw is due to inflammation and hematoma formation secondary to extraction that is a surgical procedure. I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin to prevent infection and anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen to relieve pain. Do warm saline gargles. Do cool compresses over the cheek as it help in reducing inflammation and swelling. In case if the condition worsen or the pain does not reduce even after 8 days, consult your treating physician and get evaluated, and he can do a clinical examination and also advise an x-ray to look for the cause of the problem and treat accordingly. He will check for Chat Doctor. . But I suppose that gradually the pain will start reducing in a day or two, and you will start feeling better soon. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
