Please help
I got all four wisdom teeth out last week Thursday. They were all fully under the skin so I had to be put under and everything. It all went fine but I’m not so sure now. Randomly yesterday my mouth just tasted terrible. So I did a salt rinse and it fixed it. Then it happened again and the salt rinse didn’t work. Ever since the second time the taste has been getting soo much worse it’s at the point now where it’s worse than the actual surgery and not being able to eat. It’s like actually almost making me gag 24/7. It also smells bad but that could just be the taste. Salt water doesn’t work, brushing teeth doesn’t work, mouthwash doesn’t work, tiktacs don’t work, I don’t know what to do it’s tastes terrible. Please help.
I can’t really describe the taste rather than just terrible. It is overwhelming where it overrules my delicious homemade popsicles.
Pain hasn’t been too bad it more just feels hot from my upper jaw to the top of my nose. It kinda feels like when you’ve been in a hot shower to long but only in the lower part of my head and upper neck.
Idk what dry socket is exactly but I know it’s kinda related to it so if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have been doing
-salt rinse 3 times a day
-lightly brushing teeth with manual toothbrush
-eating soft foods
-using cold packs
-using pain and swelling meds my doctor gave me
Thanks!!
