Wisdom Tooth Taken Out And Taking Vicodin. Feeling Dizzy And Disoriented. Body Sore. How Long Does My Body Take To Get Back To Normal?

Hello, I got my wisdom teeth out Friday November 15 and today is Sunday November 17 an I been taking Vicodin since my oral surgeon had to drill my bottom teeth since they were not completely out. I just been feeling dizzy and disoriented and shaky obviously my jaw is sore and stiff but why does my body feel like this and is it normal. I am kind of worried that it will take a while to get back to normal for my body.

Hello,

Post extraction of wisdom tooth usually shows symptoms of fever,headache,pain as well as difficulty in swallowing and speech.

It usually takes a period of 2 weeks to relieve such pain.

I would advice you to take complete course of medicines prescribed.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.

Take adequate rest and avoid anxiety.

Irrigate the socket with betadine and dressing has to be done.

Take care.
