hello, I just had all four Wisdom teeth removed three days ago. So far everything has been going fine and i haven t been in too much pain. However, a few hours ago i started feeling not quite right. My head started hurting (not terribly though) and I feel very hot. I took my temperature but do not have a fever . I decided to switch to ibuprofen from my prescribed medicine today, so I was wondering if I should switch back, or take another course of action
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor I would like to tell you that wisdom teeth extraction is not a simple extraction. Its somewhat complicated surgical procedure & there are many post extraction effects that are seen like:- -prolonged numbness due to local anesthesia effect -pain -swelling -difficulty in opening mouth -fever -malaise You don't need to worry about any of these symptoms. Take some rest & start with amoxiclav-625 twice a day along with zerodol-SP twice a day. Also take some multivitamin & antacid like omeprazole 20 mg if acidity persists. Take all this for 5 days because ibuprofen is very mild analgesic. Along with that start warm saline rinses 24 hrs after extraction. This will help in healing. Consult your dentist if problem persist.  Take Care Regards Chat Doctor.
