I had jaw surgery in June of 2009, the doctor that did it said that it could randomly start swelling for a couple of months, and it did. But I woke up this morning and the entire right side of my face as well as my top lip was swollen. Is this normal?
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, Pain, swelling, fever, are common after surgery, you don't worry about the symptoms as they will subside after some times by its own, you just follow the post surgical instructions given to you properly, take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics, take multivitamin supplements, take lukewarm saline rinses and get the condition checked by the Dentist periodically. Hope you find this as helpful, Take care!
