So I got my left bottom wisdom tooth pulled Dec 8th had to get oral surgery for it at first ended up with dry socket that got fixed or so I thought after that was all better I noticed a lump on my lower jaw by where my tooth was extracted now it has grown three sizes went back to the dentist and he thought it was an absess but we took an x-ray and the socket of my wisdom tooth is closed up and healed not to mention with this bump I can barely open my mouth but he gave me antibotics but they don't seem to be working I'm kinda freaking out anyone know what I can do

      I am going to see my oral surgeon today. I’ve been on 3 kinds and they are just not working. My face is swollen like crazy. And when I press the swollen side, I can see the yellow pus coming out from the mouth... Terrible!
