How Can Jaw Soreness With Teeth Pain Be Treated?

Hi, I had my wisdom teeth removed 8 days ago. I finished my pain killers on day 4 and have been taking 3 ibuprofen daily since. During the days I have been experiencing tolerable pain, however, in the evening my jaw is very sore and my teeth hurt (like having braces tighten). Is this still normal after 8 days?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the jaw could be because of the wisdom tooth removal. If the bone was cut during the removal of wisdom tooth there will this kind of pain, that last for 5-7days. The other possible cause of pulling kind of pain is the presence of sutures. Get the sutures removed after 7 days the pain will come down gradually. continue the course of antibiotics and analgesics. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
