My lymph node in my neck is swollen?

Question

Okay so on wednesday i had my wisdom teeth removed plus 4 other teeth. It needed to be done to get braces. Well my front side tooth that they pulled out i feel a bump. I don't know if it is because maybe it is healing? Or if something is wrong? I am still in pain it is very sore and still a little swollen outside the mouth and swollen on the inside of the mouth. I will be seeing the dentist before i get braces on monday. But is this normal? My lymph node is starting to swell just a little bit on the left side of my neck.

Answer 1

This all sounds completely normal. Remember, you just had a bunch of teeth pulled and you are going to be very sore! The swelling in your nymph node is normal too as it swells up when it is trying to help your body heal. Try taking some ibuprofen for pain and swelling, it helps a lot! If you feel much worse (fever or your jaw is hot to the touch) you could have an infection, but from what you have said it all seems like normal healing.

Answer 2

Sounds normal

The drainage is going to the lymph node, which is where its supposed to go. It will drain.

If it does not, either go to a Licensed Massage Therapist for lymphatic drainage(painless and relaxing) or go to a Dr for meds.

Answer 3

You might have an infection and you need to take antiboitics. Call your doc. for prescription.
