Hi, i recently had my 4 wisdom teeth removed under anestisia and my swelling is gone and my teeth don t hurt but my jaw is locked and i cannot open my mouth more then 2 fingers, i am also still on antibiotics but i stoped the pain meds .. I am now also feeling shortness of breath, hot flashes, fatigued, weak and i get headaches frequently.. What is going on? I am a16 year old girl and i get tired walking from class to class and sometimes im to tired to talk to my friends on my way to class. What could be the problem?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The limited mouth opening can be because of the inflammation at the site of injection or because of the sutures. The other possible cause can be a disc displacement, if you had kept your mouth open for long time during extraction. Nothing to be panic, Take an analgesic with muscle relaxant like ibuprofen and chlorzoxazone (if you are not sensitive or allergic). The weakness might be because of poor nutrition following extraction. Do saline gargling. Consume a lot of water, take nutritious food. Shortness of breath is not related to extraction. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
