The recovery time after wisdom tooth extraction varies from person to person because each person has a different degree of trauma, a different personal constitution, and a different degree of perception of painful stimuli. Generally, 2-3 days after wisdom tooth extraction, the symptoms of redness, swelling and pain in the face and extraction wound will be relieved, but it may take another 5-8 days for the pain to disappear. In some patients, the pain may last for more than 1 week, and in severe cases, fever may appear, requiring oral or intravenous antibiotics for anti-infection treatment and painkillers or antipyretics for pain relief and cooling treatment. If it continues to show severe pain and a putrid odor, you need to be alert to the appearance of dry socket, and you need to scrape away the infected material by thorough debridement to promote the growth of granulation tissue. In the early stage of wisdom tooth extraction, cold compresses can be applied within 48 hours and hot compresses after 48 hours to relieve swelling and pain. Pain relief drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs can also be applied to relieve pain and discomfort, while avoiding infection. Daily attention should be paid to maintain a clean mouth, avoid rinsing the mouth on the day of tooth extraction, and avoid eating foods that are too hard, too hot, or spicy and stimulating, so as not to cause bleeding from the wound and make the painful symptoms unrelieved. If the pain and other discomfort persist, it is necessary to seek timely medical attention and treat the disease according to its cause to avoid further development of inflammation and adverse consequences.
