Am I getting dry socket? Please help!

Hollythejedi

Please help!!! I got one wisdom tooth out 2 days ago and I'm feeling a burning sensation coming from where the stitches are. Feels like someone is rubbing a pepper on it. I also feel very swollen inside there where I can't comfortably touch my teeth together and relax. Taking amoxicillin antibiotics already and my oxycodone is literally taking none of my pain away. Am I getting dry socket??

Going back to your dental surgeon to have a post op evaluation is advised.
