Can i take muscle relaxers after WT ext?
I am having lower jaw pain and swelling for past one and a half months. Had sinus infection and took antibiotics. Sinus cleared up. But the jaw pain and swelling still there. Went to dentist and told me to extract upper wisdom tooth. Also said might be small crack in lower first molar and have to treat it with RCT or extraction.removed my upper wisdom tooth last week. Even after extraction,the same level of jaw pain under the ear with swelling still there. Dr prescribed muscle relaxers before the extraction for the jaw pain. I am currently taking antibiotics and ibprufen 800 post tooth extraction. I feel my upper first and second molars so tight and stiff and couldn't bite or chew anything. Is it normal? Can I take muscle relaxers after WT extraction? My antibiotics course is completed. Have to take ibprufen as needed for pain. Can I take robaxin and valium(prescribed) along with ibuprofen? Should I take it or should wait till the extraction heal?very stiffness,tightness in Molars.help

Hello
Our experts from the department of oral medicine and radiology suggest you to kindly consult your dentist for a review. Till then you can take muscle relaxant like mobizox when need arises. Try and see if it helps. If it doesn't, please contact your dentist at the earliest. If you are taking robaxin and valium, please don't take muscle relaxant. With ibuprofen, robaxin and valium can be taken but under caution and special care. Ask your physician about it. Anyhow you certainly need to consult your dentist again.
Next Steps
warm salt water gargling
mouth opening and closing exercises frequently
