Cheeks are swollen due to wisdom teeth removal. for how much longer will they be swollen for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: Normally, within a week the swelling should be significantly reduced. Try to keep the are clean. Use the curve syringe to flush out the food after eating. Steroid only effective 1/2 hour within the surgery appointment. Take your antibiotic faithfully and Ibuprofen for antiswelling measure.
