What Causes Bump In The Mouth After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Hello, I recently had oral surgery (impacted wisdom teeth) in which they extract all 4 wisdom teeth that have not yet erupted. It has been two weeks since the surgery and pain has stopped for the most part exept for major heads, aching jaw, aching ears, and i have a large bump on the roof of my mouth where on tooth was extracted. It is not longer painful but I am concerned because it is pretty big. I have a couple other bumps but they are A LOT smaller. I am 17 years old, 140 lbs, 5'3, and no major health problems.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the region the bump should not last for too long , there could a chance of infection present or any left over tooth particle, a course of tab almoxiclav TDS for 3-5 days is required, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash garles two to three times a day.
Take care!
