My daughter got all 4 of her wisdom teeth out 8 days ago.  She woke uo in extreme pain and the bottom right side of her mouth is swollen.  There is also a hard lump in lower right jaw which is extremely painful.  I called the oral surgeon and prescribed penicillin.  What else can I do?
Hello, Prescription pain relief medication can be taken for extreme pain. The antibiotic may require up to 48 hours to become fully effective. Anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can reduce symptoms. Make sure all directions are followed including rinsing with warm salt water and keeping the area clean. Take medication as directed. Do not let any debris get caught in the extraction area. Your dentist may schedule a dental visit if the lump persists.  Chat Doctor.  Pain in the socket area can indicate a delay in healing and require a medicated paste to be placed in the socket. Keep your dentist informed of all symptoms and continue to monitor area. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope your daughter will start to feel better soon.
