wisdom teeth extraction on left side lower jaw third molar last week friday- I had a wisdom tooth that was erupted very marginally. it caused infection so I was asked to remove it. the gum next to inner cheek was cut and the bone was drilled and the tooth was taken out whole. non dissolving stiches were put in to be removed in 7 days.its been 6 days now and as I am allergic to tettracyclin and peniccilin i was prescribed 1 panadiene thrice a day after meals and 1 cataflam 3 times a day.. the pain was manageable and I followed post operative instructions to the letter. there was swelling on the cheek and jaw that peaked on he 3/4th day and caused considerable pain when trying to sleep as the pressure when lying down was too much and pain radiated towards the ear. inside of the cheeks also was swollen and yellow scars appeared from rubbing on my teeth which were painful. now the swelling has gone down but i am in pain and the jawbone hurts as well as a small stiff lump on the jawline remains which is tender to touch and there are increases in the pain from time to time throughout the day. can move the mouth though slightly uncomfortable when eating.mostly inner cheek hurts and the lump on the jawbone is hurting alot. is it dry socket? but there are stiches so there is no hole in my gums. or an infection in the jaw bone? please help as sleepless nights have become the norm...
