Question
I had a tooth pulled on Tues and i am still experiencing pain and swelling in my lymph nodes and jaw...how long does this normally take to go away!!
Kim - Lymph not pain and swelling dissipate at different times for different people. If you are feeling an increase of swelling or discomfort I would definitely suggest you contact the dentist. If you are not on antibiotics now I would most likely suggest that you be placed on it. My suggestions are definitely belt and suspenders, because I am unable to directly examine you.
So contact the doctor and see him. Any further questions feel free to contact me again.
