Hello sir, do not panic. kindly complete your antibiotic medicines course, apply ice pack on the cheeks on side of tooth removed.
Use Luke warm water salt gargle, 3 times a day...
impacted tooth removal is always painful and a little discomforting.. it subsides within a week...
if you have severe pain or swelling then you have to get it checked again...
