I had a top molar extracted and having sharp burning pain from jaw into ear and all up my right side of face to top of my head. Ibuprofen, advil, aleve, ice packs not helping. What can i do? And this procedure was just done 7 hrs ago. I had one removed last weej and wasnt this bad. Office is closed and no answering service.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain after extraction of the is common, it will be there for another 1-2days and gradually reduces. But the pain will not be this much severe unless there has been a bone cutting during extraction. Nothing to be panic. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with analgesics like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase combination. If the pain doe snot subside in 2-3days, consult an oral physician. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
