How can i get rid of swelling after wisdom teeth taken out?

Depends on cause...: If it is an infection, then antibiotics will help. If it is due to post operative inflammation, then NSAIDS and ice packs will do the trick. Why not call and discuss with the surgeon who extracted the teeth? They will know best as to how proceed.

Follow instructions: Unnecessary complications like swelling, pain or infection can be minimized. Just follow post- wisdom tooth surgery instructions carefully.
