Question: I had my wisdom teeth pulled 5 days ago!. My face is still swollen and in pain!. Is this normal!?
I was told having my wisdom teeth pulled would be relatively simple, and that I would be eating normal food within 3 days or so!. That's how it was for my brothers!.
5 days later, my face is still swollen, and I still have a throbbing pain in the back of my mouth!. I did all the procedures correctly (Ice packs, suck on ice chips, salt water, etc!.!.)!. I took my antibiotics on time every day, so I don't think it's an infection!.
The incision site feels like its almost healed, but when I try to chew something soft, like cottage cheese, it still hurts, and I have to just moosh it with my tongue against the top of my mouth!.
Has anyone else ever experienced this!? I had all 4 teeth pulled at once, if that matters!. Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate the pain and swelling!? I REALLY want to eat normal foods again!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
