Pain after wisdom tooth extraction

2023-02-14 14:47:28
Hello Doctors I got my lower left wisdom tooth extracted three days back, it involved bone cutting too ( as doctor told me). Since then i am having pain and very less constant swelling. I am only able to eat after having pain killers. Jaw opening is painful, also feeling little pain in lymph and throat. Now i am on fourth day, pain is only relived after taking ketorol dt that too for short term. The extraction site was sutured after the procedure. Is this the symptom of dry sockets. Kindly Guide. I am attaching the picture also. Thanks

Hello The socket seems fine No need to worry, sometimes when the extraction takes long time … it cause more trouble to the patients. No need to worry keep taking your medications, start with warm saline rinses atleast thrice a day.

Wound looks fine. It's healing give it some time. Do warm water gargle 4-6 times daily. Add multivitamin tab zincovit once daily. If pain doesn't  reduce in 2-3 days can suspect dry socket.

Hello sir. Wisdom Teeth removal is usually complex. Due to many reasons. This discomfort and pain is common due the difficult tooth. Give it some time to heal. And consult your dentist in case this doesn't get better.
