He told me that the bleeding is normal. He pressed on the inflammed area but no abcess came out. He said that its not infected but it may become infected, so he prescribed flagyl to use alongside what he gave me earlier which was amoxicillin. Ive been taking the meds since then, the amoxicillin is almost finished and ill be done the flagyl by tuesday. The inflammation doesnt seem to be going down though. Also it been a week since i got my wisdom teeth removed and my bottom extraction sites still occasionally bleed... I cannot close my mouth due to my swollen gums. And i havent been able to eat anything except cold soup, jello, ice crem yorgurt ect. Im scares because of the bleeding i will get dry sockets, even though i have been extreamly careful. Anyways i was wondering if this is all normal... Ive lost my appitite aswell. I have school in a week and i dont want to be dealing with this. I forgot to mention that my bottom right extraction site is swollwen oer by the hard lining. the flagyl makes me feel so ill. Anywaya im really scared that im not developig a clot properly because i have on an off bleeding on both bottom extraction sites and also im not sure that thr medication he gave me is working because the swelling is the same. Any reassurace or comments would be appeciated!!
