Tooth extraction
I had my wisdom tooth extracted 3 days back...it was ok for the time being but on the 3rd day suddenly i have pain in my jaw and cheeks it goes till my ear, ear feels like hot...not unbearable pain,
Is this concerning ? I went to the dentist on the 2nd day and he said everything is fine.
