Abscessed Pulled, hurts to swallow?


just had an abscessed primary (baby) tooth pulled, right lower side molar. I have been on antibiotics since Mon, June 6th and still have the abscess which the doc said it was ok to pull... I am just wondering is is normal to feel some pain when touching the underside of my jaw and when I swallow it hurts a little bit on that side? I dont look swollen when I look in the mirror and the pain is slowly subsiding. Thanks for all the info, it is GREATLY appreciated.

If the pain is lessening then the antibiotics are beginning to work, don't worried. If the pain is getting worse the antibiotic isn't working you may need a stronger one.

Yes it is normal
