I had my right lower & upper wisdom tooth out at my local hospital Jan29th 2013, topday 22nd feb 2013 I still can not open my mouth more than say 6-7mm. My right side of my throat and tonsil are really swollen. I vistied my normal dentist Mon 18th feb 2013, who prescribed my anitbiotics but the lump under my jaw and the swelling of my throat/tonsils does not yet seem to be subsiding, is this normal, swallowing my own saliva is even painful.
Thank U for the Query, pain, swelling and difficulty in opening your mouth are common problems faced after wisdom teeth removal.  As days pass by, its keeps healing accordingly and symptoms gradually subside. The duration is approx 1 month now from the time of your teeth were extracted and looks like the infection still persists. Advise u to visit the specialist and get it checked at the earliest to avoid the problem from aggravating. U will be probably needed a change in medication if required and further assessment. Regards,
