Infection Signs - Post-Wisdom Tooth Surgery?

I already posted a question about this and was doing fine for a little while after my post but am now experiencing some pain. What are some signs of infection after wisdom tooth surgery?





I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed 3 weeks ago. Dry sockets possibly in all four. Have been feeling better in the last 1.5 weeks but woke up yesterday in pain from clenching.





My face, cheekbones are hurting radiating a little to my ears. I took 400 g of ibuprofen which has helped. The pain is intermitten and in pangs here and there. I always make sure to rinse with salt water several times a day and use the syringe.





Any ideas as to whether this is healing pain or infection pain or something else?

Infection Signs - Post-Wisdom Tooth Surgery?
It can take a couple weeks to get over an extraction and longer with impacted and dry sockets. Do you see any oozing? Do you have a fever? What is the swelling now? Is your face swollen?You can take 800 on the motrin. You can also take tylenol at opposite 4 hours for pain(Ty at 2, Ib at 4 Ty at6 Ib at 8. ) That is not for a long period but for severe pain before you can get to see a professional. Keep rinsing, even more often and look for oozing or swelling, redness around the area and fever.
Reply:"Healing pain?" No! This is probably infection. It's hard to fight infection in the mouth and you had a lot of work done. Your main sign of infection is going to be pain. You can't really go by redness because it's in your mouth.
Reply:Since you are 3 weeks post-surgery, I would become suspicious that you have some thing lodged in one of the hole left by your wisdom tooth. If you have a water pic use that to flush out each wisdom tooth hole. If you don't have a water pic then I would go to the dentist and have him flush out the holes and he will be able to tell if you have developed an infection. I would consider it unusual for you to be 3 weeks post-surgery and have pain from healing. It is either some thing stuck in there or an infection.
