Hello! On Friday I had surgical removal of a wisdom tooth at the back on the right (38), which was growing horizontally instead of vertically and was pushing the other teeth forward. The surgeon gave me all the instructions about what to expect. What surprises me is that my face is still swollen since Friday. In the lower part it has even changed colour, blue and yellow. I would not say there is inflammation because only the sutures hurt a little; otherwise I can say that I do not really have pain. I would like to know whether it is normal to still have facial swelling in the area of the lower gum after 5 days and how I can reduce the swelling, since the surgeon recommended cooling only on the first day after the procedure. Thank you very much for your answer.
