I had my wisdom tooth pulled five days ago, and the dentist warned me I might feel like I have a sore throat throughout the week... but today, I feel a really sharp pain in the back of my throat, like a sharp splinter is stabbing me whenever I speak, and I m worried that this is unusual...
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have pain in throat this can be due to throat infection don't worry I will suggest you to consult ENT specialist and go for examination of throat and tell him about your past dental history also that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth 5 days ago, discuss with your ENT surgeon and go for treatment of sore throat, take course of antibiotics for extraction prescribed by your dentist and follow post-operative instructions given by your dentist. In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.
