[|Human|] I had all four wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago. I no longer have any pain from the surgery. All of the swelling has gone down except for a huge golf ball size lump that developed in my lower left cheek. The lump is "heavy", hard, and tender to the touch. Teeth and gums seemed to have healed up just fine. What is this huge lump? It is causing much discomfort. How do I get the swelling to go down and knot to dissolve??
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As you have mentioned that the swelling currently on your lower left cheek is heavy, hard and tender to touch. These symptoms suggest towards an infection present there. Please revisit your dentist once and get it thoroughly examined for the cause, might be a small root piece left or due to accumulation of food debris there. Warm saline rinses will help, and please see your dentist soon, so that upon evaluation if required antibiotics can be started. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
