A member asked:
Is it normal swelling after a wisdom extraction to feel hard and start to stretch sown the outside of your neck? also have white patches in throat?

Infection: The white patches sound like you have a post op infection. The hardness may be swollen lymph nodes. See the dentist who extracted the wisdom tooth.

Post Op symptoms: Since every surgery and every individual is different, along with the fact that we can't actually examine you, we can't know for sure what if what you describe is normal it not. The white patches may or may not be related to the surgery. What you describe certainly warrants you contacting the surgeon and having him\her see you right away for an evaluation.
