Wisdom tooth

2018-02-06 05:22:04
Hi it has been 24hrs i have extracted my wisdom tooth on lower jaw , the extraction was done in 2 minutes since my tooth was normal. I have very slight pain and very less pain so should i stop taking painkillers that are prescribed for 3-5days and can i continue only antibiotics (how long even antibiotics should be taken) I am concerned about taking medicine is bcoz since last year i have been very sick and had already taken lot of antibiotics in treatment so i dont want this to affect my kidneys and liver. Please respond. Thanks in advance.

Antibiotics are needed minimum for 3 days as extraction is a invasive procedure.you don't want later after the extraction the tooth socket to get infected .so after three days mouthwash like deciding is recommended
