Severe Swelling In Glands, Throbbing Pressure And Pain On Right Side After Extraction Of Wisdom Teeth. On Penicillin, Codine And Nurofen. Suggest

Hello I had all my wisdom teeth extracted three days ago and I am experiencing severe gland swelling that makes it unbearable to swallow,also I feel like there is a lot of pressure on my right side, throbbing and this is causing me restless sleep and a lot of discomfort. All this pain is only on the right side. Should I see someone? It seems to be getting worse and I am on penicillin, codine and nurofen. Please help me.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The post operative pain associated with wisdom tooth extraction is common.
Extreme pain at the right side of wisdom tooth extraction May be due to-Dry socket developed,traumatic extraction undergone,Root pieces or tooth pieces remaining within the socket.
I would suggest you to gargle frequently using warm saline or betadine rinse.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics.
Rinse your mouth after every meals to avoid food lodgement.
Avoid stressful jobs.
Please do visit a dentist for further reference.
Take care.
