I have knots on my jaw bone after wisdom teeth removal and that was tuesday of last week so if i still have it wat does that mean ?

Lymph Nodes: They should shrink back to normal size in a few weeks time. See your dentist if they're still swollen in a month.

You had surgery: Swelling is not unusual after surgery. Should gradually diminish with time. For your own peace of mind, however, call the Surgeon and report your concerns. If appropriate, the Surgeon will request that you be seen for a follow-up visit.
