Swollen lymph nodes usually mean an infection.. Go back to the dentist right away. If you are near Oxon Hill, Maryland come on in and I'll take a look. Call 301-567-9844 of my cell 301-367-8268. The consultation is complimentary so are any necessary x rays.

Diminishing pain after extraction is normal. Increasing pain and regional inflammation may indicate an infection. Please consult your dentist and find out what's happening as we are approaching the weekend and help will be more difficult to find. Good Luck

I am concerned. Pain, swelling, inflammation and headaches are not normal days later after a tooth extraction. Sores inside and outside your mouth sound like a viral infection due to your resistance being weakened. You need to be on an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication.

Your swollen lymph nodes the pain and swelling being worse the 3rd to 4th day is NOT normal healing. You might have a viral outbreak on top of an infection. Call your extracting dentist now, and try to be seen by someone ASAP. It may be that simple but this is when you should seek more advice or care personally, not via this.

It depends on how difficult the extraction was, and what was going on to begin with. To be safe, follow up with the Doctor. Many times, patients get shy about returning to the doctor with complications. That is what they are prepared for. It might be normal, just a hard recovery (its normal to swell for almost three days after an extraction), or could be an infection that requires some treatment.

This is one for your dentist to SEE. Many of your symptoms can be a simple complication like a "Dry Socket", but the sores and blisters are of concern. This can be a viral infection but it needs to be evaluated.
