Hii. Swelling after a third molar extraction is quite normal. It takes atleast 10 days for the whole swelling to settle down. U can take serratiopeptidade 15 mg twice a day for 3 days after food. If u have pain u can also take zerodol sp which is a combination of the pain medication and the medication for the swelling.
