I have a question about a problem after my wisdom teeth removal, has anyone had !


Question: I have a question about a problem after my wisdom teeth removal, has anyone had this problem!?
So I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed almost two weeks ago and the recovery was going great!. I had no pain at all, the swelling was gone, my stitches have dissolved, I'm done taking my infection pills and the pain pills and I can now eat at my favorite restaurant again without too much trouble [YAY!]
BUT! I woke up this morning with the left side of my face swollen and a bit sore then a few hours ago I had this disgusting taste in my mouth and thought it was blood, well I went to the mirror and saw this totally gross yellow/white stuff coming out of the back of my gum!. Puss I assume [duh, I know]
I don't know what that means so I don't know what to do!. I was wondering if thats normal [I can't call my dentist because the office isn't open] and I was wondering if this would get answered fast!.!.!.

Anyway my question is, should I be freaking out!? And what should I do for now until my dentist opens tomorrow!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
That is definitely an infection! I had the same thing happen to me!. The best thing you can do is to use listerine if you have and rinse thoroughly!. If you don't have any mouthwash then I suggest warm salt water and or peroxide!. Use this often maybe once an hour or every half hour if you can stand it!. But that should help to clear out some of that gunk until you can get in to see your dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like your surgery site is infected!. The yellow/white stuff probably is puss!. It might be worthwhile to get this checked out by a doctor if you're really worried or if it gets at all worse!. But definitely have a doctor or your dentist look at this!. You might need some antibiotics to knock out the infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you may have an infection, you will need an x-ray of the area!. Just try to relax and wait until tomorrow!. If your not in pain, it can wait till then!. If your really concerned you could go to a walk in and get a prescription but still go see him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you either A are a smoker or B used a straw to drink and got air into the holes in your mouth!. Go to your dentist ASAP!. It is painfull!. it is called DRY SOCKET!. It happened to me when I had all 4 of mine pulled out, I smoked cig's when I shouldn't haveWww@Answer-Health@Com
