How to speed up healing of bruises?

Ok, so my mom got all her top teeth out and two of the bottom and her face is really swelled up… yah I know thats normal… and I also know that bruising is normal… But I mean she is really horiibly bruised up and I cant understand why her eyes underneath are so bruised??? Anyways is there anyway she can speed up the process of healing? anyways here is a pic of her bruise but its an earlier pic it is much much much much much much much much much worse now!!! also does it look liked this doctor totally screwed her up?

Answer #1

Bruising is normal after teeth extractions.

— Swelling and sometimes bruising can occur after surgery, esp. with so-called “wisdom teeth” (short for wizzies). The worst swelling, pain and jaw stiffness normally occurs 2 or 3 days after surgery. On the day of the surgery, apply ice packs for 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off until bedtime. This will keep swelling to a minimum. Also keep your head elevated until bedtime. Moist heat after 36 hours may help jaw soreness. Arnica (a homeopathic treatment available from pharmacies and health stores) can be taken orally and/or as a cream to help with the swelling.

If her bruising persists, try calling the office the procedure was done, and talk to the Doctor or nurse about the bruising.

Answer #2

really??? Cause the swelling went down some now but her bruises are just bad yet.

Answer #3

OH MY GOD> what the hell are wrong with you people. GO TO A DOCTOR!

Answer #4

People are different and just takes time tell her to keep her head elevated and rotate with the compresses and no straws I believe that will cause airpockets?

Answer #5
