Hello!Thank you for posting here.

Frequent thirst can be because of blood loss during the extraction.However, this is not considerable.Frequent thirst in your case can be due to the antidepressant you are taking.This is aggrevated after the surgery.
I suggest you to see your physician if a change in the prescribed drug (lofepramine) is necessary.
Maintain healthy,stress free life style. Do not poke the area with finger or tongue.
Avoid carbonated drinks.Take minimum of 3 liters of water daily.

Hope this helps.
