<s>[INST] I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and the bleeding has stopped for the most part, but on the right bottom side, the suture has a dangling thread about an inch long. Can I trim that a little shorter? Its making me gag and Ive gotten sick twice because of it. [/INST] Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes it is little annoying when the thread is dangling which is supposed to be trimmed to avoid further irritation. But I would advise you to get it done by the dentist itself as u may end cutting the suture itself and this may prevent the early healing or may cause bleeding in itself. Continue with medication and hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. </s>
