Is weakness considered normal after tooth extraction?
Patient: Hi, just had my second biggest tooth removed, it was a root canal as well...i did not take painkiller afterwards, and now its the 3rd day, the pain is almost gone, but i still feel very weak at times, is this considered normal reaction after tooth extraction? Doctor: Hello, Thanks for your query.In the event of nausea and/or vomiting following surgery, do not take anything by mouth for at least an hour including the prescribed medicine. You should then sip on Coke, Spritete, Gatorade, or ginger ale. You should sip slowly over a fifteen-minute period. When the nausea subsides you can begin taking solid foods and the prescribed medicine.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
