Suggest Treatment For Pain After Wisdom Teeth Removal
I had 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed 17 days ago. After 6 days had to go back due to dry socked. had them filled with packing then 5 days l.ater removed. While the packing was in there was no pain. The pain has been pack for a week now as well I have developed over the last week alot of 'bright' green weird tasting phlem in the back of my throat that comes from my nose. the pain goes from my jaw on the right side around my eye to my temple, back of the head and in the ear. I have taken all meds they gave me, and still have been on 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 hrs to keep away the pain. I have tried on 2 seperate days to not take any pills but can't make it past 2pm. I am worried that taking stuff for 2 weeks is too long. I am 44 years old.

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, as you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth now you have pain dont be worried so much in surgical extraction there is pain and takes time in healing ,for this pain you can take dispersable Paracetamol tablet for pain , Follow all post operative instruction given by your dentist , take proper course of antibiotics , Take soft diet.
If your pain continues then consult dentist and go for examination of extraction socket.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
