My daughter had her wisdom teeth out 3 days ago and shes doing very well except her uvula is stretched over her tongue and is transparent in color and upper palate is bright red and hurts.  Shes taking steroids, amoxicillin, and is only down to 1 600mg of ibruprophen a day. Its obvious it was damaged during surgery.  Will it heal on its own?  What can we do?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter has pain and redness of upper palate after teeth removal is mainly because of effect of anesthesia on soft tissue of mouth which leads to muscle formation and secondly force required for wisdom tooth extraction is very high, and it causes stretching of oral mucosa along with it and gives your daughter pain and inflammation in palatal region. Need not panic about anything. It will resolve its own. Few preventive measures you can take. Apply ice cubes on cheeks and inner surface of palate. Dip cotton in honey and apply on affected area of mouth it will fasten healing. Do warm saline gargles and Betadine gargles as well to prevent spread of infection. Take antibiotics and painkiller combination (Diclofenac and Ibuprofen). Chat Doctor.  Eat ice creams, soft food. Avoid sharp spicy food. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity by brushing and flossing gently. Do antimicrobial mouth wash rinses. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
