Aftermath of wisdom teeth....?

Question

I had my wisdom teeth removed about 2 days ago. When I woke up this morning my whole face swelled up like a watermelon *cries*! What should I do other than icing and Ibuprofen 800?

Answer 1

You are suppose to be taking antiobiotics too aside from the analgesics. Post-surgical inflammation after wisdom tooth extraction is almost always expectedl, but limited only to the area of operation. If your allegation is true that your whole face swelled like a watermelon, chances are, maybe severe infection  has set in.  That's where antiobiotics come in to play. It's standard procedure. Go back to your dentist and ask for the prescription.

Answer 2

sorry sweetie, you cant do much more than that unfortunately. just keep that ice on! good luck and feel better xox
