I had an impacted wisdom tooth removed last Tuesday. It was a bit tricky to remove but it all went smoothly. It was excruciating for 24 hours then gradually eased off but since yesterday lunch time the pain has come back and is slowly worsening. I can't eat properly or open my jaw fully and my face is still swollen and visibly bruised. I have a slightly weird taste in my mouth but that has been there since it was removed and hasn't worsened. Today I feel a bit lightheaded and dizzy but this could be completely unrelated!
Any ideas on what to do? Is this just normal healing, do I contact the hospital tonight or wait until tomorrow morning? I'm taking painkillers regularly and they're helping but not totally removing the pain.
Any suggestions appreciated... currently waiting for latest pain relief to kick in and feeling sorry for myself!
