    Severe pain after wisdom teeth extraction
    I had my wisdom teeth out August 1st and I was in a lot of paIn but it's gotten worse. My breathe smells awful and I have to take ibeuprophen 24/7 just to not cry. I can't open my mouth fully and my ears hurt so bad I want to cry. Could this be somehing bad or is it normal and I'm overreacting. They did prescribe me perceset for the first couple days but I'm out of it. I take at least 800 mg of ibeuprophen every time I take it. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Go back right away. No, this is not normal and it sounds like something is wrong. I had wisdom teeth removed and I did not experience pain for this amount of time that you're talking about.

    This sounds like you could have a dry socket. Call your dentist in the morning.
