Infection after wisdom tooth removal
Hello! I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed last Wednesday 1/25. On Friday the swelling had went down on one side but not the other. I started having a nasty taste in my mouth from the bottom right side. I returned to the OS who confirmed a infection and put me on Amox 500mg 3x daily. By Sunday the swelling was down but I still had nasty discharge. Yesterday I returned to the OS and she irrigated the bottom sockets and said things look much better. She said it is uncommon to get such a bad infection less then 48hours postop and wondered is something was left in there? I was sent home and have a follow up Friday. Today is the 4th on the antibotics and I still have discharge should I be concerned? I have around 90% of the movement back in my jaw and just a little pain from the infected side.
