Hi..
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concerns..

As per your complain after wisdom tooth extraction appearance of swelling or lump over the jaw is a common finding and it occurs as a result of inflammation due to trauma to the soft tissues caused during extraction..

It can occur secondary to accumulation of inflammatory exudate at the site of extraction as well as Hematoma formation due to severing of small blood vessels while extraction..

You need not to worry as it is an inflammatory swelling and will resolve gradually..

You should do cold compresses over the swelling and can take the prescribed medication and follow the instructions given to you by your dentist..
Doing warm saline gargles will also help..

But if it worsen or shows no signs of improvement consult your treating dentist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation..

Thanks and regards..
