Hello, As per your query, you have symptoms of throat pain post wisdom tooth removal which is very normal as pain and swelling usually occurs when extraction site is nearby. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take care of surgical site in proper way. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications. You should visit oral physician once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination if symptoms keeps on persisting. Maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Suck on throat lozenges and take painkiller such as Ibuprofen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
