severe pain after tooth extractin
I had a tooth extracted 3 days ago. the area where the tooth was pulled does not hurt but 2 of the injection sites hurt terribly. There is intense pain towards the back of my jaw,ear,and lower jaw bone.they gave me antibiotics but have not been running a fever. They don't seem to help. I have also been taking 800mg ibuprofen which helps for about 3 hours then the pain is back. It is not getting any better. The pain is almost unbearable. Any suggestions?
As for the injection sites, time will heal the pain from that. As for the fact that your pain is unbearable I'm wondering if you have what is called a "dry socket". Call your dds asap and get in there to be examined. Don't worry, this won't last forever. If it is a dry socket they can pack it and the pain subsides quickly.
