Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth so dont worry see hapened is after extraction of wisdom tooth swelling occurs dont worry if it you have pain in that socket and swelling continues more then 3 days after taking antibiotics then consult your dentist for examination and irrigation of socket
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
