Question 1

I got my wisdom teeth out five days ago and couldn't keep down the pain medication because it made me sick the first day. Now there's a big hard lump in my cheek that hasn't gone away. I've been icing it and taking the amoxicillin like I was told to prevent infection, but there's still this awful taste in my mouth and the pain is just too much. I saw the oral surgeon yesterday, but all they did was open my mouth and send me home, telling me to rest. What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

While some swelling and discomfort are normal after wisdom tooth removal, the pain and ongoing symptoms you're describing need to be addressed. Since you're already on antibiotics and have been to the surgeon, it may be helpful to follow up soon for a more thorough check, especially if you think the pain and lump are related to an infection or dry socket. Dont hesitate to let your surgeon know if the pain persists or if new symptoms develop.

Question 3

I'm having issues with my tongue  the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

The small holes inside your cheeks, also known as traumatic ulcers or mouth sores, can be caused by accidental bites, sharp food, or minor injuries; since you're not experiencing pain, bleeding, or other symptoms, monitor the sores for healing, maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid spicy or sharp foods,
