Had an infection below an extraction socket and bone graft to treat it. Should I wait for appointment, or try to be seen ASAP?

Should I wait for my appointment, it try to be seen ASAP.

The bump is most likely not directly related to the novacaine shot itself. You might've bitten your lips while you were numb or it can be unrelated. You can check with your dentist later.
