question: Hello. I got my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday (it is now saturday night). Had two lowers removed, one was impacted. The impacted one is giving me problems. However, i do not think i have a dry socket because of my symptoms. My throat (tonsils almost) are really swollen and it hurts to swallow. i also cannot open my jaw very much. This started the evening of day 2. my actual stitches and sockets seem fine, but my neck area directly below the wisdom teeth is swollen as a ball is in there. its kind of like a muscle cramp. What do you think i should do? Infection or dry socket?
