Hi. I had four wisdom teeth removed six days ago. Today I have not taken any pain meds( Tylenol with codeine) but I still feel pain around the entire left side of my face and lower right jaw. I figure the pain should he expected as there is still visible bruising. However I am concerned because todayvi have started to get waves of dizziness that come out of no where, I simply start to get clammy and feel like I am going to faint. Should I be concerned? FYI I am taking penicillin but have no history of allergy to it.
According to your description your pain looks more like that of a TMJ rather than the tooth retraction.  This may result after extraction as patient tend to limit the mouth opening and chewing after the extraction. This results into spasm of the muscles in and around the TMJ as they have discontinued their function. Warm water with salt gargles and heat packs from outside 4 times a day will help you to relieve the spasm. Moreover, you can ask for doctor to prescribe you skeletal muscle relaxants. With all this treatment you can now Starr chewing the food n let the joint muscles regain their function.
