Is difficulty and pain while swallowing after removal of wisdom tooth normal?
Patient: Hi I'm 14, and I just got my wisdom teeth out around 10 this morning. An hour ago around 5 my mom tried to give me a pill and I noticed that it hurts when I swallow so I decided not to eat or anything else till tomorrow, but I just wanted to know if that's bad that it hurts when I swallow, it feels like I'm pulling on my stitches, I'm kinda scared. OK well. Hope you can reply. Thankyou. Doctor: Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. You are feeling pain and difficulty as the extraction has been done just one hour ago as the removal of wisdom teeth causes slight difficulty as it is the back most teeth, and may be possible some muscles were also exerted,  5hat is medications are prescribed by the doctor. Plz do not take tension,  just relax and have the medications timely so that you will be fine. It will take some days to be normal. If it doesn't get relieved within 5 days then you can go and see your doctor. Hope it will help you.
