    Wisdom tooth extraction
    Thursday I had my lower right wisdom tooth pulled and it's been 3 days later and I'm still in pain. I'm on amoxicillan and 2 other pain relievers and still in pain. I don't have dry socket cause I do have clot in socket. Any suggestions or how long I will feel like this for? Thanks.

    You should mostly be healed in about 2 weeks. It's normal to experience pain the first several days however you should notice that the pain is lessening. Rinse with warm salt water for about 5 minutes several times a day to help with the healing.
