Post Extraction Care: Good day; Hard to evaluate symptoms without examining you; however, contact dentist who removed tooth, share your concerns with him and insist on an appointment to evaluate situation!

Surgery: You had surgery and antibiotic coverage to treat a severe infection. Will take time to heal. It would be appropriate to bring your concerns to your treating General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon. That is the person responsible for your post-surgical care. Please call him/her now.
