What can you do when antibiotics won't heal a mouth infection? i've got a infected bump where my wisdom tooth was removed and its been2 and 1/2 weeks

Low-grade infection: This occurs usually because either a piece of food or other debris got caught in the extraction site and needs to be removed. See your dentist/surgeon for post-op examination.

Infection: Call the dentist that extracted your wisdom tooth about the infection that is not healing. They are the best able to help you.
