Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
The meds may be upsetting your stomach, and you may be taking too much medication. If you do not have to take all of the medicines, back off of a couple of them and make sure you take your meds with food or milk.





I had 10 teeth removed at once, six were impacted. Too much pain meds can hurt your stomach. It can also cause the sleepiness.





If it continues, call your dentist.
Reply:It is likely just side effects of your pain killers and medication. Check with your pharmacist to be sure.
Reply:if you got vicadin for a pain reliever that could be a cause. a lot of medicine like that can make you drowsy and cause vomiting, headaches and such. you should go see the doctor about it though and tell him your symptons.
Reply:The medicines are probably pain killer and an antibiotic. Let your dentist know. You'll probably be switched to a milder painkiller (maybe even over-the-counter Tylenol or Ibuprophen at this point) and perhaps a different antibiotic.
Reply:The drugs that are given as post-operative medications may actually give rise to stomach discomfort depending on the type of drug, dose of intake, and frequency of intake.





The medications for pain are particularly notorious for stomach discomfort. The most commonly prescribed among these are mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium and diclofenac. If this is the case, this ask your dentist if you can replace them with a paracetamol or a cox2 type of NSAIDS





The antibiotics given to prevent infection may also cause some discomfort to the stomach. This is more likely when an erythromycin is given. If this is a case, an antacid would help.








Have you been eating proprerly? In many cases, the patient who has just had an impacted tooth removed refrains from eating. This may also cause some stomach discomfort as well as a feeling of weakness. In this regard, eating properly would probably help.





There is a normal sequence of events for post-operative healing. Usually the post-operative pain of the surgical site will peak within 12 hours and will remain that way for 48 hours. After that the conditions will improve gradually over 5-7day.





If conditions become worse after 72 hours, this is a sign that there is a problem and must be reported to the surgeon for evaluation. The usual cause is an infection. This is possible even if an antibiotic is being taken.





If your tooth was taken out June 9 you should be be b


rushing the area by now to keep it clean. If the area is not being cleaned properly, this may be a source of infection.





Bottom line is you should be feeling better by now. go back to your surgeon and have it checked. It may be nothing but nothing to lose and everything to gain to have it checked.
