pain in extraction site and jaw
8 days ago I had 4 teeth extracted from the back right side of my mouth 2 from the top and 2 from the bottom as a result of compacted wisdom teeth and teeth grinding I still have to go back to have 2 more pulled from the left side, the 4 extracted 8 days ago have hurt like crazy since they were pulled and I feel like it\'s getting worse and I\'ve also noticed swelling around the extraction sites and also my jaw I finished my antibiotics (500mg amoxicillin) 2 days ago the was prescribe to me a week before extraction. I called my dentist on Saturday and told him my symptoms he said it could be dry socket and to keep talking the antibiotics and I told him I was almost do done with them and he just said make sure I finish them, I was even went into the office on Monday because something doesn\'t seem right and he looked in my mouth for about 1 minute and said everything looks fine and sent me on my way, I\'m sorry for making this so long but I have a high tolerance for pain I have taken 16 325mg hydros plus 4 from when I broke my 4th metatarsal bone over a year ago, I hope I\'m not just over reacting and any advice would be greatly appreciated
