What Causes Hoarse Throat And Sickness After The Extraction Of Wisdom Tooth?

I really need your help. It has been 4 days since my wisdom teeth extraction surgery, and all of a sudden out of nowhere I m experiencing an extremely hoarse throat, however, I don t feel sick. Could this be from the anesthesia and should I be concerned?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The hoarse throat and sickness can be because of the inflammatory swelling that occurs following extraction of the wisdom tooth secondary to the damage to the lymphatics. Nothing to be panic, it will come down in 4-5days time. Mean while take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). do saline gargling. If it does not subside after a week, then consult your dentist.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
