[|Human|] Hello,I had got 2 teeth extracted 10 days ago. The wisdom teeth on the right side was below the jawline. The surgen had to open the area, cut the wisdom tooth into multiple pieces and then put stiches on it.Its been 10 days but i still can not eat on the right side, I am able to eat light meal on the left side. Before 2 days, I have minor pain from the extraction site till ears. I have pain in ear when I try to swollow saliva. Its more painful when I clean mouth with salt water.I am on a business travel right now and bit worried about this pain , knowing that I can not go for inspection to the surgen who had done my surgery.Many thanks,PrachiDo you think its sign of infection? Can you please advise something?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting the query, I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth extraction is not a simple procedure, it's a complicated surgical procedure and often associated with post surgical complications like pain, swelling, prolonged numbness, fever, malaise, difficulty in mouth opening. You don't worry about the symptoms as they will subside after sometimes. Take complete rest, follow the post-operative instructions given by the Dentist properly. Take lukewarm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash rinses twice daily. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out. Regards...
