Hello. So my spouse had a top wisdom tooth extracted about 6 weeks ago. Everything went fine. Ever since he has has pain but the dentist had said its not fully healed but there are no issues, so everything seems on track. He has been taking 400-800 mg ibuprofen since it was pulled. Well about a day and a half ago it got ALOT worse. It's now a throbbing pain that is worse when he lays down. He was not able to sleep last night but for an hour here and there. Ibuprofen is not working at all. Went to dentist today, they took xrays and did a full exam and said he doesn't see any issues. Gave him a script of penicillin to see if that helps. Earlier this afternoon he started taking half 10mg percocet and it's helped a bit, but not much. This evening since trying to sleep had to give him a whole one spread out and he is still crying out in pain. Any idea what could be going on?


I have been scouring the internet for the past 2 hours trying to find information on what may could be going on with my spouse. Found some problems similar but none have been solved or exact. Wanted to see if I could get any help here. Thanks for reading.
