Dear practo user Your problem will subside in a few days, no need to worry. Use warm salt water rinses regularly and stop ice packs

Hello,its very common to get swelling after removal of impacted tooth .Need not worry it will take almost 5 to 7 days to subside . U need to take medications as prescribed  by ur dentist for 5 days and keep on applying ice .it will  subside gradually.
