Answers:
Have you had a follow up appointment with your doctor yet.? When you do, he'll check them and make sure everything is healing well and that you didn't develop a dry socket.. Dry sockets are extremely painful but it doesn't sound like that's what you have so that's a plus!
I had a lot of jaw pain as well when I had mine out.. I found that doing jaw exercises helped me a lot.. For example, I opened very wide like a yawn and closed many times throughout the day.. I also moved it forward and backward.. Depending on what kind of pain you're having, this might help a lot.. In the meantime, take over the counter pain medicine and call your doctor and tell him/her what's going on.. They can usually help you via the phone and if not, you'll go in for a follow up and figure it out there..
Don't worry, you'll better soon!Health Question & Answer

Even though it is not hurting where the teeth were pulled, the nerves around where your teeth were pulled are just reacting to the extraction.. If you are out of pills you might to go buy some more but for a temporary relief you can:
-eat ice cream
-suck on an ice cube
-drink a cold smoothie
The ice cream and ice cube can help soothe and numb the pain a little, and the thickness and coolness of the smoothie can also help to soothe the pain.. If the pain worsens or persists for longer than you think it should then maybe you should contact your doctor or dentist.. Hope this helps!!Health Question & Answer

The pain is a normal side effect from pulling out the wisdom teeth.. My father had a lot of pain too, and it was in his jaw.. It took about a week to heal.. Ask the dentist for some advice, or go to the pharmacy and pick up some medicine.. Put some ice on it to cool it down.. Good luck..Health Question & Answer
