hello there ,

As you have mentioned you got your wisdom tooth extracted 2 years back so we cannot expect any infection arising from the wisdom tooth removal .

The problem of pain in the ears ,neck and other areas may arise if any residual piece of tooth or one of the roots of the wisdom tooth is left extracted in the socket, these residual piece may under go infection and spread to adjacent structures.

This can only be confirmed by clinical examination and x ray evaluation .

i would suggest you to get an OPG radio graph done which will sow the picture of entire jaw , accordingly treatment can be planned.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Wisdom tooth extraction is not a simple procedure , it is somewhat complicated and there are often post extraction effects like pain , swelling , difficulty in mouth opening , fever , malaise .

There could be a chance of some broken root piece left in the socket to rule out this you can visit to a Dentist
I would suggest you to take an OPG x-ray.

Pain can also be because of ear infection, for neck pain you need to get a checkup done by a physician .

Take tab amoxiclav 625 mg twice , tab zerodol twice
also take multivitamin tablets and antaacid like rabeprozole 20 mg all this for 5 days .

Hope this helps out.

Regards...
