Pain in wisdom tooth extraction site
Even after 10 days since my dental surgery and stitch removal, I am still experiencing persistent and excruciating pain. I am unable to sleep at night and wake up needing painkillers. I have been continuously taking painkillers for 10 days and am completely sick and tired of depending on them; they are now causing headaches. Due to this pain, I miss college almost every morning. I revisited after 7 days and even mentioned dry socket, but was told nothing was wrong. I cannot manage like this anymore. I do not want to go to another hospital Manipal Hospital performed the procedure and took the payment, so it is their responsibility to resolve this. The pain is absolutely unbearable without painkillers.
