It is normal to experience some swelling and jaw stiffness, which often increases over the first two or three days but then starts to improve. We will provide you with a supply of all the medicines your consultant feels you need to take home with you after you've left hospital, up to 14 days.
I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to this one- I’m not an oral surgeon.

This will depend on the complexity of the surgery, the size of the cyst and the location, but after approximately one week, the pain and swelling will decrease, in 15 days the soft tissue will heal and in three months the hard tissue, bone.
