My wisdom tooth was removed about 7 days back. There are 2 stitches taken. Dr. said jaw bone had to be cut. There was local anesthesia given. I did not feel any pain on that day n also on next day. But from the 3rd day till today which is the 7th day. If I don't take pain killers pain is there. I have taken antibiotics 625 mg for 5 days. Enzoflam I am taking 2 tablets per day. Now it's a week I am taking these at interval of 6to 7 hrs. I am doing saline water rinses 4 to 5 times a day. My question. How many days should I take the pain killers. Will there be any side effects of these meds if taken for long. My stitches will be removed on this Tuesday after 11 days of tooth extraction. Should I continue to take enzoflam. Or is there any other meds that I should take. Please advise.
