I'm having trouble after my wisdom teeth surgery!!!
Exactly a week ago on Friday March 24th I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. Since then I have been taking my medication as indicated and have been following all of the rules. On the 3rd and 4th day my swelling was extremely bad... swelling is still not completely gone and I have large bruises on my face. As of right now I can't seem to open my mouth more than 1 and a half inches apart and I find it extremely difficult to chew even the softest foods like mac and cheese for example. I'm starting to think I have lockjaw! Please help me :)

Going back to your surgeon to have a post op exam is advised. Limited mouth opening is a common complication of lower wisdom tooth extraction, and tends to recover within a week if antibiotics is administered appropriately.

After getting your wisdom teeth pulled, you are likely to experience pain and swelling or there may be some bleeding. While your mouth heals, you have to be careful not to dislodge the blood clot or harm your healing gums.
For more concern, I would suggest you to visit to a surgeon with whom you have your teeth surgery.
