What Is The Cause For Huge Painful Swollen Lump On The Inside Of The Cheek Where The Tooth Is Removed?

I had a impacted wisdom tooth and the 2nd molar on my bottom right side removed almost 6weeks ago. It was a very long and difficult extraction and also resulted in an immediate dry socket the next day, like the blood clot never formed. Well after what seemed like forever i believe that is finally starting to heal but now i have this huge swollen red painful lump on the inside of my cheek where they were removed that kinda looks like a cluster of sores or lumps. This preety much fits right where the remaing large whole in my gum is

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have swollen lump inside cheek dont worry swelling occurs in some patients after wisdom tooth extraction .

As you have dry socket after that you have swollen lump for this you should consult dentist and go for Oral examination .

Meanwhole you can do Betadine gargle two - three times a day

Hope it will help you.
