Wisdom teeth healing.
I’m currently on the 5th day since the two wisdom teeth on the right side of my mouth were extracted. The operation in itself was not painful at all. The doctor took only about 4-ish minutes to get the two teeth out. I also had almost no pain during the first five days too. Moderate swelling, discomfort and moderate pain only when pressed on the swollen cheek.
NOW, here comes the difficult part, I have very bad gastritis and acid reflux in general. The antibiotics prescription isn’t helping the situation. I’m constantly having trouble with my stomach and I have constantly been feeling nauseous. Though, my doctor advised not to vomit as it might dislodge the bloodclot. I feel like I’m fighting against a stomach issue rather than extracted teeth in my mouth. I haven’t been feeling hungry at all for me to take the tablets post meals.
Adding on to this, the extraction site is in such a position, that I cannot even check if the healing has been going well. So I don’t know if it is even healing properly.
I am also extremely paranoid about if this is even normal. All I have been reading online is the pain and discomfort in the mouth after extraction.
