What Causes Throat And Tongue Pain With Dysphagia After Tooth Extraction?
Hello, so I got a tooth removed after it was decayed and there was gum pain as expected as it s not the first time I got a tooth extraction. But the days that followed i have been constantly getting a stab-like feeling in my throat and tongue. It makes it hard to swallow and move my tongue. I have taken amoxicillin for pain relief as I have a wisdom tooth coming up (partial rupture) and ibrufone for the relief of the stabbing pain. It has been 4-5 days since the extraction and I have taken pain killers to no relief. Any suggestions as to what s causing the uncomfortable pain!?

If there is an active infection, you might have to start on broad spectrum antibiotics for specially anaerobic organisms. Consult your doctor for add on medication
