Had my second molar (the one next to wisdom toom) on upper right side pulled five days ago. The swelling of the gum above the extracted tooth has not really subsided, and may have actually gotten a bit larger since then. There is pain, but it comes and goes. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with unbearable pain and had to put a frozen chicken on my face in order to fall asleep again.
There isn't really any bleeding still, but I am most concerned about the gum area above the extracted tooth. The swelling is limited to that area and has not spread.
One last note, when I probe around the area with my tongue, I feel as if there is a little bit of a tear on the gum area that extends from the "hole" where my tooth was to the top of the gum.
Pressing the area with my tongue or finger (outside my cheek) results in pain.
I also feel as if I have a bit of a sinus headache that starts in the center of my forehead and extends down to my nose.
Saturday, no dentist. Smoker.

rianse your mouth with warm salt water swish around in your mouth and spit it out four or five times and do it again remove the infection and wash the gums
