Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Discomfort post extraction of wisdom tooth is expected like pain, swelling, numbness, etc.
For first 24 hours, do cold compressions. Later warm saline rinses and warm compressions need to be done. Antibiotics and anti inflammatories help in faster healing. As far as nausea is concerned, antibiotic like amoxicillin can cause that. I suggest you to take antacid like Pepcid 20 or Rantac 150 twice daily empty stomach to reduce gastric side effects of antibiotics and painkillers. Also, take antibiotic and painkiller only after meals. Keep good oral hygiene. Do betadine rinses to clean extraction area.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
