Hello, I just had my wisdom teeth removed (all 4 of them) 4 days ago. I am having a strange sore& painful throat and right tonsil only, hurts as well. I also have this painful burning sensation in the middle of my chest , feels like my lungs are on fire. I ve been taking Pen VK after the surgery in order to avoid an infection, also took motrin for about a week 2x per day to help with the pain I was having BEFORE the surgery (cavity in wisdom tooth ). What is this burning in my chest and painful tonsil?? Thank you..
Hi, Thanks for posting your query, Fever , sore throat , dizziness , tiredness, nausea, feeling of tiredness are common side effects after extraction of wisdom tooth , as this procedure is traumatic and time-consuming. Burning sensation in your chest is due to the antibiotics taken.  Don't panic consult the doctor and change the antibiotic.  You can take tab rant ac TDS for hyperacidity. Take complete course of antibiotic and analgesic . Use saline water gargles 3-4 times a day for soothing effect .  Maintain good oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Take complete rest , avoid stressful jobs. Hope this helps out. Regards.....
