some swelling is normal. i am assuming that this was a lower tooth that was removed. ice or a bag of frozen peas works well as an "ice pack" on the area. Please wrap the bag in a couple of paper towels first. do this on 20 minutes and off 20 minutes for the first 24 hours. providing you are not allergic to these meds or conflict with any of your other meds, i'd try maybe 800 milligrams of aleve or motrin. (this is not the usual dosage on the package, aleve used to be by rx only at a higher dosage). aspirin tends to cause bleeding. nothing hot or spicy . soft, cool diet. no straws for the first 24 hours. if you are still having problems after trying this, call the dentist.
