<s>[INST] Hi there, I had my bottom left wisdom tooth removed yesterday and today have noticed I have skin which seems to have been sewn falling over the tooth infront of where the wisdom tooth was. I can't bite down or close my mouth properly as my top tooth keeps biting on it! What shall I do? Is it normal? Will it go away once swelling goes down? I don't know what to do :-( [/INST] thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling is due to inflammatory response. the damage to the lymphatics during surgical removal of the wisdom tooth. the damaged lymphatics will be repaired in 48hrs, so swelling comes down after 48hhrs. the opposing wisdom should be removed along with the lower/upper wisdom tooth to prevent future complication. take antiinflammatory drugs like tablet enzoflam. take soft diet. i hope my answer will help you. take care. </s>
