~Hello,The removal of third molars in not an easy task, and requires patience. Patients can experience many different symptoms after the extraction appointment. Be sure to follow all of your instructions and attend your post op appt. If there would be an issue that needs attention it will be identified early. Be kind to yourself and take care. All the best,
You should follow up with your surgeon.

Thank you for your e mail . Sone pressure/ soreness can be felt after an extraction but should be getting better every day . Stay away from eating extremely hot foods or anything with sharp edges like tortilla chips . Try keeping it clean but don’t keep pulling your cheek to see how it’s looking .
Tlc the area for about 2 weeks and avoid heavy lifting/ jumping / or running or any strenuous exercise .
If anything unusual or any pain or pressure increase please contact your dentist .
OTC Advil can help .
Hope this helps .

No that is not normal, you should contact the dentist who extracted the tooth and let them know.
