Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have pain in throat this can be due to throat infection dont worry I will suggest you to consult Ent specialist and go for examination of throat and tell him about your past dental history also that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth 5 days ago , discuss with your ENT surgeon and go for treatment of sore throat ,take course of antibiotics for extraction prescribed by your dentist and follow post operative instructions given by your dentist . In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
