Day 5 recovery pain
Hello,
I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago and I’d been taking my meds as prescribed. The top two are unbothered but the bottom two were impacted. I’ve been taking Ibuprofen 600mg every 8 hours with my antibiotics. They also prescribed me Tylenol #3 but I’ve been weening off of it since the pain was decreasing. Last night (day 4) I started feeling this throbbing pain but it’s not unbearable, it’s just uncomfortable. My stitches are still on and I see white tissue on both bottom sides I’m scared if I have dry socket, I read some comments saying: “if you have dry socket you’ll know” but then I also saw some comments saying they weren’t in horrible pain. Just wanted to get some insight and see if anybody has been through this.
