Hi, I had a wisdom tooth out on Mon and 4 days later my mouth is still swallen. How do i know if this is just a normal swelling after the surgery or whether it is infection.Also, I am worried about taking too many painkillers (ibuprofen) as I might be pregnant. I try to restrict it to 3 a day. Is this still too much?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor.  I have gone through your query, as you have swelling after wisdom tooth extraction don't worry this swelling usually happens after wisdom tooth extraction for one week, if it persists for more than 15 days than consult your dentist.  Don't take Ibuprofen for if you are pregnant it harms you. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. If you have pain then take one tablet paracetamol to relief pain. Hope this will help you.
