Suggest Remedies For Loss Of Appetite And Lethargy After A Dental Surgery

I had all four of my impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed four days ago and I am still suffering from loss of appetite, weakness, nausea, and itching, most likely due to the Vicodin I was taking. How long before the symptoms wear off and what to do in the menage time?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have loss of appetite , lethargy , nausea , weakness this can be due to side effect of local anaesthesia , nutritional deficiency ,drug induced , traumatic extraction or loss of blood during extraction. For this I will suggest you to take proper sleep of 8 to 12 hours , dont take stress , take proper nutritious healthy diet , take soft diet , you can also start with vitamin B12 , folic acid supplements by consulting with your doctor .
If your weakness , nausea and itching continues for more than 24 hours you can report back to your doctor to evaluate for heamoglobin , malnutrition.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,

Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

The loss of appetite, itching,weakness,nausea and related symptoms suggests slight overdosage and adverse reactions to Vicodin.Please stop the medicine if you are still talking it .

Visit a emergency or call your local dentist and have it reviewed.

Do warm saline gargling .For pain you can take paracetamol .

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
