Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
As you got your wisdom tooth removed yesterday, it did not hurt yesterday because the effect of anesthesia was there,now but the effect has gone and you have to maintain it with antibiotics and precautions like-
- Warm saline gargles thrice daily
- Try to talk less as it will relax your muscles
- Do not sleep on the same side from which tooth was extracted
- take regularly your medications for atleast five days.
Continue with all these and you will be relieved from the symptoms.
Hope it will help you

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth yesterday now you feel like pain dont worry complete healing of Extraction socket takes time of atleast 15 days, so yo take antibiotic course given by your dentist
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
If your pain continues for more than 3day then consult your dentist again and go for investigations done and examination of socket
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health
