After having wisdom tooth removed, my throat was extremely sore. After a few days, I got a mirror and looked at it and just about freaked out. My entire throat looks like a giant hematoma. Is this something to worry about? I also have bruising on my cheek but I understand that is normal but I have not seen anything about throat bruising.
I can confirm the exact cause only after a complete medical history and clinical examination. Slight bruising is normal after removal of wisdom tooth. Painful swallowing is common after the procedure due to swollen muscles in the throat. This may usually subside in a couple of days. If the symptoms are severe it is best to see your dentist and get your doubts clarified. Hope it helps. Keep us posted.
Best of luck and kind regards!
