Swelling and pain is normal following wisdom tooth extraction. But it should subside within a weeks time. If you are still experiencing pain kindly revisit your dentist or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management. Do not take 10 pain killers per day. This is overdose and can harm you.
