I got my wisdom teeth surgically removed on monday (I'm 13) and I have not been able to close my mouth since, I can feel that my left top spot where the socket would be is swelled up so I can't close my mouth and can not eat. Is this common or should this be something to worry about? I've been eating things like pudding, soup, and protein drinks the last few days but I can not close my teeth so I can not chew. I've been reading that I must be able to atleast start eating warm foods by now but I can't even chew. D:

You're still in the normal range. Don't worry. It takes a few days, and after such you can add some heat packs on the outside of your cheecks (external, not internal) and that'll help loosen your jaw up.

Thanks
