Wisdom tooth removed?
I had it taken out a few days ago
and I am feeling sick , cant stop going to the toilet and am very swollen and sore
have to add though that I have irritable bowels brought on by nerves , so that may explain the toilet ... rather than it being directly related to the tooth
are these symptoms normal ?
I have had some removed in the past ... but never felt so ikky with them Additional Details thank you for all your advice
the nerves on my face is slightly numb and tender
I have done the salt water
it was only local anesthetic
but the extraction did involve a lot of pressure and pulling as the root was bent to one side
will give it till Monday when they open again and if it hasnt got better by then , I will see them
did you ice and heat the area like the dentist told you to? did you not drink from a straw? if it doesn't clear up this weekend, go back. don't just wait for an infection to set in.

You poor thing, I can sympathise with you.
How many did you have taken out? I have extra teeth after my wisdom teeth so i had 5 out (they couldn't reach the 6th one).
Going to the toilet isn't a symptom linked with the removal of wisdom teeth so i presume that the irritable bowels would account for that part. However all the other symptoms you have descibed are quite common and I had the same.
Recovery depends on the individual so the fact it has been more than a few days shouldn't freak you out, I was sore and displayed those symptoms for a week and then I got better.
Your just going through the worst phase at the moment on the brightside just think, things will get better in the next few days and they will.
The after effects of extracting the wisdom teeth normally include the painful side effects that you mentioned. Take my sister for example, she blacked out from the pain and brought up blood but she recovered. It just takes time for your body to recuperate.
Hope you feel better soon, i understand you must be in pain and extremely bored (thats what i remember)
p.s. i would have advised before you went in to take arnica a natural flower based product that would ensure the swelling was reduced after surgery.

Did you have it taken out under a general anaesthetic? If yes, that could explain why you feel sick. If no, you should NOT be feeling sick and I would suggest you phone your dentist and insist that he gives you an immediate appointment so he can check the extraction site.
Are you in actual pain where the tooth was removed? There is something called 'dry socket' condition that can occur after an extraction, but I don't know if it happens with wisdom teeth. It involves a lot of pain.
The key thing is also to check that there is no infection. Boil some water, add some salt, wait until it's hot but not too hot, and then gargle with this - this will help prevent infection. Alternatively, you can add a bit of honey and some cider vinegar to some hot water and drink that.
Don't suffer in silence! Phone your dentist and demand he sees you.
Wish you better! :)

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so badly,
I had my wisdom teeth removed as well (2 each in 2 visits). I got sick from the Percocet/Darvocet and just used Tylenol. Your IBS might be the problem for the john; but the swollen and sore may just be as a result of having those teeth pulled. I'd still check with the dentist "just to make sure". It couldn't hurt to ask; they can best guide you.
Good luck, hon.

If by 'a few days ago' you mean more than three, I think you should contact your dentist or doctor. Wisdom teeth have very deep roots and infection is probably more likely with their removal than from other teeth being removed. Feeling generally so bad can be a short-term reaction to the local anaesthesia, but it shouldn't carry on like this seems to. I'd play safe rather than sorry and get a professional opinion.

Aside form the Irritable Bowel Syndrome, its normal. You need to eat soft foods like mashed potatoes and soups. Don't try to eat regular food for at least a week. Take some anti-diarrheal medicine to help the the I.B.S.
Been there, and it wasn't fun.

Hey I had one taken out yesterday and I've been throwing up ever since! I think it's from taking my percocet and antibiotic on an empty stomach though. I ate some mashed potatoes today and have felt a little better since. So if you are taking any kind of medication, that could be why. If it doesn't get better in a couple days, phone your dentist or oral surgeon. They usually recommend cutting back the dosage of the pain medicine if they suspect that's what could be causing it.

Major (((hugs))) to you. I went through hell with my wisdom teeth so I can totally understand how you feel.
I was very swollen and sore for just over a week.
I used a mouthwash of hot salt water (as advised by my dentist) and that really helped.
Have they got you on an antibiotic? That could be making you feel icky.
I think your IBS will be giving you hell due to the stress you've undergone around having your tooth out, and that will be making you feel sick too.
I found the following helped:
The hot salt water mouth wash.
Taking a semi soft diet.
Drinking plenty of water.
Oil of cloves on my gum.
If you are still feeling rough after another couple of days, I would be tempted to phone your dentist and ask them for advice, as infection can be very common following wisdom tooth removal.
But like I said, I was rough for about a week.
Hope this helps sweetie. (((hugs)))

You should perhaps give your dentist a ring... you could have a "dry socket" or an infection. They usually have an answering service that handles these things on weekends. They are required to have a colleague cover for them if they are busy for the weekend.
Give a call, my friend... you shouldn't be feeling this badly!

Aw, you poor thing! :'(
I had all four of mine cut out at the same time, and I somehow got lucky. All of my friends said I'd be miserable, but I actually didn't even swell that bad.
I saw how miserable my brother was. I think he had similar symptoms. My mom has IBS, so I know how frustrating that can be.
