If your surgery was performed when you had an infection, then you would be looking for signs of improvement. In the first 24 hours after surgery, if you already had a prior infection, you may not see a vast improvement and you most probably would be on an antibiotic. There are 5 signs of infection: Redness, swelling, heat, pain, and/or loss of sensation. There may also be throbbing with each beat of your heart. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you should communicate with the surgeon’s office to share your concerns.

Do I need to remove the cyst in my mouth?
Cysts continue to get larger because their content is saltier than the rest of the fluid in your body. The wall of the cyst is permeable and your body fluid moves into the cyst READ MORE
Cysts continue to get larger because their content is saltier than the rest of the fluid in your body. The wall of the cyst is permeable and your body fluid moves into the cyst through the wall to make the cyst content less salty. The cyst presses against bone. Bone dissolves as this pressure is applied. This all happens slowly but could create massive bone loss over time. Some cysts can be due to dental infections but some cysts can be aggressive and can be more serious. You need to consult an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to evaluate and possibly biopsy and treat your situation.
