Im still taking 400mg ibuprofen every four hours for pain in one area of my jaw. My wisdom teeth, all four, were extracted a week ago today. Have been taking penicillin as a preventive measure. Stitches fell out early in the area which still hurts.Is this normal for a 44-year-old in excellent health?
