had my wisdom tooth extracted under a GA last week.
now its infected and ive been in bed practically for 3 days, its awful, i wouldnt have thought something like this could make me so ill.
im on Anti-B,s but my mouth is so painful, ive done the salt wash and am using corsodyl but that has stained my teeth a lovely beige colour and so ive stopped using that, dont know anything else i can do, dentist has just said to persevere.
its awful.

I would go to the doctors and ask for a strong prescription painkiller? The doctor may also advise re the antibiotics too. Sometimes you need another type if the first one you were prescribed isn't working. Keep doing the salt washes as they are good.

Good luck!

Keep using Corsodyl, the discolouration can be removed by dentists easily, or get the spray so you can target that specific area. Can your gp give you as stonger painkiller -dh had some prescribed.
