I had a lower wisdom tooth removed two weeks ago (just one tooth). Immediately after, my jaw was locked but I put it down to the local anaesthetic.
In the days following and lots of pain and a pointless visit to the dentist where they didn't help at all, as they couldn't get into my mouth, I eventually saw an emergency NHS dentist where I was treated for dry socket (getting rid of the intense pain) antibiotics for an infection and I was told that the trismus should go by the 5th day of antibiotics.
A week on I now have no mouth pain but can only open my mouth by two fingers (it was one finger) and have bad ear pain, headaches and a sore throat. I just don't know where to go from here, do I try my GP on Monday? I just don't know how all these things can be treated and who I should see because the dentist was not helpful when I first went back. I can live with the sore throat but worry in case it's connected in some way to the gym infection?! Any tips or advice would be really appreciated.
