WISDOM TEETH PROBLEMS!
I had three wisdom teeth taken out on monday and today its friday. Only one side of my mouth hurts which is my right bottom. Its not too bad just feels like my tooth is still there and growing. that is the only tooth that i have had problems with. it was growing under the moler. anyway im super scared of getting a dry socket and today i was drinking from a straw and i didnt even notice until just now. i havent had any problems with the precedure and they didnt even bleed bad. just that first day and once i took the cotton out 30 mins later it wasnt bleeding. I just want to know if i really have anything to worry about or not. Oh also i get random dizzy/nausa spells that maybe last about 15 mins. I stopped taking my vicoden that was with tylonal and my amoxicillin (i asked) so im thinking it cant be them but ive been taking acetaminophen and i was wondering if it may be those but idk HELP PLEASE

As long as you doctor approved stopping the antibiotic I guess that is okay. I would think he/she would have given you a different one. Most dentist want you on antibiotics for 10 days after surgery like this.
As for what you are feeling I would think this about normal for where you are at in your recovery. What you may be feeling is called phantom pain. It is the same type of pain people feel when they have limb amputated. An over simplification of this is that your nerves believe the tooth is still there so they still send the signals to the brain. This will pass.
Today is Saturday, if you still feel this way on Monday give your Surgeon a call and see if he/she wants you to come in for a check up. It will have been8 days by then and most of the pain ans swelling should have gone down by then. If not the Surgeon may want to take a look at you.

Having your wisdom teeth pulled can take more then a week to heal. I had all four of mine pulled at once as well and I was swollen and sore for a good two weeks. It is possible the pain could be a dry socket, However it has only been 4 days and you should expect that you will still be in pain.
I would give it a week, If you still experience pain then call the surgeon. Sometimes the way surgery works is the pain is worse a few days after surgery due to healing.
