###Human: Can I take Flucloxacillin for pain after wisdom tooth removal? ###Assistant: Hello. After third molar surgery, the swelling in jaw bone is common, and cure after 3 to 4 days. It is not due to infection but it is due to body defense reaction. So do not worry about this and wait at least four days after extraction. Amoxicillin is a most popular prescribed medicine by the dentist after extraction. So I suggest you take medicine as advised by your dentist. If you want to change any medication you should take permission from your dental surgeon.
