Suggest Treatment For A Lump At Tooth Extraction Site

Hi, I had my wisdom teeth removed almost 2 weeks ago, I now have a lump on the bottom right side back further on the gum from the extraction site. It's about the size of a large pea, it feels and looks like a blister. I told the nurse at the dentist office about it and she said its normal and would go away on its own. It doesn't seem to be going away.. It's not really painful just irratating. Any advise would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump at the site of extraction could be a socket granuloma or excess tissue that has formed in the extraction socket. Nothing to worry, usually it resolves by its own, if it is troubling you and irritating you, get it surgically removed under local anesthesia. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
