It's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?

It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.
