It will take around 7-10 days to relieve pain and swelling. Take antibiotics and analgesics as prescribed. Avoid hot, spicy foods. You can consult through this for further details.

Hello….
Nothing to worry about ..
Your dentist may have prescribed you antibiotics and analgesic for pain take those twice a day after food.
This pain will be fine within 2-3 days….u should not restrict your mouth opening just keep it minimal for starting 2 days .
After 4 days u can start with warm salt rinse to heal the area faster.

It is normal to have pain when you remove your wisdom teeth. Dont be worried you might also feel difficulty in opening mouth which is also normal.
Next Steps
Use cold pack over the region in the first 24 hours relief of some pain and continue on the analgesics /pain killers prescribed
