I'm extremely worried I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and on the right side of my jaw line where the doctor has to do some harder digging there's a hard lump on my jawline and some of my jaw feel more thicker than the other do you think it's possible the doctor has broken my jaw outwards and why is there a hard lump there as well I'm not sure what it could be any thoughts ?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain a hard lump at the site of wisdom tooth extraction where there has been extensive injury to the soft tissues is due to inflammation and the hard lump is formed due to accumulation of inflammatory cells, damaged tissue fibres, inflammatory fluid [exudate] forming a hard and sore lump..

Nothing to worry, take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen and do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump and also do warm saline gargles..
The lump might take a week or ten days to resolve completely..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
