Jaw pain after wisdom tooth extraction

2017-08-01 13:51:05
I had got my right lower wisdom tooth extracted through surgery 1 and half months ago. Now all of a sudden I am experiencing pain in the jaw bone. My cheeks are also swollen in that area. The extracted area hasn't even closed fully. I have started dolo 650 as advised by my dentist. Have got the xray done. What could b the probable reason for pain ?

You haven't mentioned the findings of the X-ray . Also need to check adjacent second molar for decay . If the X-ray reveals any left over teeth structure it needs to be removed. Can't comment more without seeing the X-ray.
