[|Human|] Hi, I got my lower right wisdom tooth removed 35 days ago. It was a impacted partial bony. Since it was removed Ive been in constant pain and still have swelling and a lump on my jaw. Ive been to my oral surgeon twice since and have been told that I have trauma to the jaw, and to rub and stretch my jaw bone. The swelling has only increased the last two days and I dont know if I should get a second opinion or whats going on. I never had a dry socket and the extraction site is healed.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint swelling and lump at the site of wisdom tooth extraction even after 35 days is not normal and can be either due to any remaining root portion of tooth that is flaring up infection while it can also be due to infection at the extraction site. Any foreign body inclusion in the extraction socket can also cause pain and swelling or lump formation. To rule out the exact cause you need to get an x-ray of the extraction site done and then only the exact cause can be ruled out. As of now take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles and do cool compresses over the swelling. You can also send me x-rays here on Chat Doctor by asking a direct query so that I can guide you better. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
