Hi I have had a tooth extraction 3days ago. It was my lower jaw. Since then I still find it painful to open my mouth. When I chew some thing its paining, also 1 of my normal tooth is paining it is just beside that extracted tooth. it hurts across my face down my neck and up to my ear. Do you think I have an infection? previously another 2 tooth extraction i have done.
Do you have swelling on the face? The extraction might have been traumatic which is giving you pain post removal. It is always advised not to chew from the side of extraction for at least 1 week to allow the site to heal properly. Only eat soft diet, from the other side. Avoid very hot and spicy food for 1 week. Take painkiller 2 times a day for 3 days. You will be fine in 8-10 days.
