Had a tooth that was infected and needed to be removed.  I had to wait 3 days in a lot of pain until it was removed, I could not open my mouth wide for those 3 days.  Dr. froze it and removed tooth 2 days ago and I still cant open mouth wide.  Is this normal?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that you had severe infection in your tooth that has led to pain, swelling and difficulties in opening the mouth. As now the tooth is extracted then the infection will gradually subside and mouth opening will increase. As of now you should take a course of antibiotics like Augmenting and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Do cool compresses over the cheek. Take muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone. Try opening the mouth gently under limits of tolerance. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
