Extracted A Wisdom Tooth, In Pain, Throat And Tongue Feels Prickly, Problem Swallowing. Is This Connected To Extraction?
I extracted a wisdom tooth last Saturday, and though I was in pain while having the procedure done, there wasn t any discomfort until yesterday. My throat and tongue feels prickly and it s become almost impossible for me to swallow anything now. Is this connected to my extraction, which still does not hurt, or is this something new altogether?
