Swelling 2 weeks after wisdom teeth extraction

I had my 4 wisdom teeth pulled 2 weeks and 1 day ago and the swelling went down. Then just this morning I felt a little pain on my lower jaw and now its swollen again. What does that mean?

It suggests an infection. Contact your dentist immediately and explain the problem. He will undoubtedly prescribe an antibiotic.

Could be lingering pieces of bone shards left in socket which is normal. Also could be infection. Call the oral surgeon for follow up to get answers.
