###Human: What can be done for a painful lump along jawbone after wisdom tooth removal? ###Assistant: Hello. Get an X-ray done to find out if the wound is healing fine or some root is remaining inside. Usually, after a week, the wound should have healed adequately and there should be no swelling or pain unless it is infected. Start taking an antibiotic and painkillers for a week to reduce infection. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week or two.
