Four days after wisdom teeth removal still swollen, is it normal?
Post Body

I had all four wisdom teeth plus an adjacent one removed on Friday. The doctor said it was a complicated surgery because of how bad they were all placed, yet the right side where the two teeth were removed, where I have three stitches, has almost no swelling left, while the left one, with only one stitch, is still as swollen as the first day.
I'm not taking the antibiotics they gave me since I don't want to take then just as a precaution although of course I'll take them if there was a chance that I have an infection. I haven't taken any anti inflammatory either since I have no pain (it does hurt if I touch that area but not otherwise).
On the left side (the swollen one) I occasionally see a bleeding spot but overall looks perfectly clean.

I wouldn't be worried if both sides were swollen, but the fact that the most complicated side is healing faster makes me wonder if there could be some complication going on the other side..
