Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
After surgery the swelling takes at-least 5 days in reducing and even pain is also present. It reduces after taking proper medications.ould wai
This brown stuff can be the granulation tissue of socket as it is healing phase. So better you should wait for 5- 7 days and still if the swelling is present then go to the dentist for follow up.
Hope it will help you.
