wisdom teeth.
I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday, and it was all good then. I was numb all day and was not tired. I took my medication last nigh; antibiotic, pain killer, and some other pill they give me to take. Now my mouth hurts SO bad, it hurts to swallow. What can I do to stop the hurting?
Thank you.

when i had my wisdom teeth taken out, i was in a lot of pain too, basically all you can do is take the pain meds as often as you are allowed to. the pain is bad, but it doesnt last long.

Unfortunately, there is not a lot that you can do. You can try to use ice packs or heating pads to help with discomfort. You could also try swishing warm salt water in your mouth.
I had mine cut out about 10 years ago, and the only thing I could do was wait the pain out. It will take a few days, but it will get better.
Things to avoid: straws, smoking, anything that causes sucking action with your mouth. This causes dry-sockets and hurt as bad as getting your teeth removed. Plus, it takes longer to heal, making your recovery time that much longer.
