[|Human|] Hi I got 1 wisdom tooth out yesterday and a blood clot formed over night. I woke up with blood on my pillow and all around my mouth. Is this normal to bleed this much over night? And how do I get rid of the blood clot or should I just wait until it comes out on its own?
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Bleeding is not uncommon for first 24hrs after removal of wisdom tooth. Also, oral bleeding is general bleeding and saliva. So may be the amount of blood you saw was less than that. I would suggest you to gently put a gaze piece over the wound area and bite on it. You can also put moistened tea bag as its tannin acid helps in stopping of bleeding. Change gauze piece if required. Sit upright or in a recliner. Do not rinse your mouth forcefully or Chat Doctor.  You can put ice packs outside your mouth on surgical area, which helps in constricting vessels. Tranexemic acid tablet can be used twice a day for blood control. If the bleeding persists beyond 24hrs, please show it to the oral surgeon for any intervention required. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
