Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain the swelling after tooth extraction is due to inflammation causing INFLAMMATORY SWELLING and it resolves in 3 to 4 days after extraction..

In case if the swelling is resolving slowly and there is formation of a small lump then it can be Hematoma formation, that occurs due to rupture of small blood vessels during extraction..

It is nothing serious as it will gradually subside..

You should do alternate warm and cool packs over the swollen region and nothing else is needed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
