I had a massive toothache the week of nov 11th so I went to the dentist so I was told that I had an infection in my right lower wisdom tooth and that it was on the nerve I was given antibodics and pain meds. So I was referred to oral surgery so when I went on Nov. 17th my neck was swollen and I could barely open my mouth the dentist numbed me up and pulled all four of my wisdom teeth out now the pain is manageable but on the right side where the infection was at still hurts my ear and my throat and I still cant barely open my mouth. What can I do about my throat cause  I finished all my medication and it feels better after I spit
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have toothache and infection in wisdom tooth and undergone extraction of wisdom tooth pain and reduced mouth opening is seen in some patients after wisdom tooth extraction. I will suggest you to consult your dentist for follow up and follow post extraction instructions, maintain proper oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Don't do gargle or rinse vigorously. Hope this will help you.
