five days after having my wisdom teeth surgically removed, im experiencing a lot of soreness in my tongue and jaw. what can i do to relieve this? ive used both heat and ice, and ive been taking ibuprofen and prescription tylenol with codeine, none of which seem to help.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness in the tongue could be because of the ulcer that formed by biting on the teeth when it was numb. The soreness in the jaw could be because of the bone cutting during extraction of wisdom tooth. Nothing to worry, it will subside in 2 days. You can take an analgesic with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Do saline gargling. Consult an oral maxillofacial surgeon if the pain does not subside within 7\u00a0days after extraction. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
