Best to check: Without seeing you personally, i can't give you a definitive answer to your question. It would be best for you to call your dentist or oral surgeon, describe your symptoms and ask for advice and whether they would like to see you in the office for a follow-up visit at this time.

YES: You may be developing a serious infection. A cellulitis may be forming. This can be a life-threatening condition. Call the emergency doctor on call at the oral surgeon's office or get to the er and have it checked. Do not wait.
