I had a tooth pulled 5 days ago. The pain was lessening up until last night it began to hurt again. Its controled by regular aspirin but is uncomfortable. I had to work the day of extraction and three days after long shifts. Is this pain normal. I can still see something on the hole (was red then a white covering and now is like a grey)
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is removed you should continue with the antibiotics and painkillers for 5 days and even follow the instructions given by the doctor. If you have followed all the instructions then pain might get relieved after 5 days. But as in your case, it looks that due to exertion the socket is not healing properly and that is why pain is present, there is a possibility of Chat Doctor.  Better to visit your dentist again and get it treated. Hope it will help you.
