Had wisdon teeth extracted . Fine the first few days but exactly week to date of extraction realise mouth does not open . Its been two weeks now. Ist was given Amoxicillin and then Ciprofloxacin 250 mg along with Metronidazole 500. Been taking the combo for two days now but dont see any relief. Also there is sweeling in the salivary glands. and ther seens to be a congestion in the throat.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The limited mouth opening and pain is because of the impact on the temporomandibular joint causing disc displacement in the joint. The other possible cause is bone cutting during tooth removal can result in limited mouth opening and swelling. But this should subside in 5-7 days, if it is not subsiding, then consult an oral physician immediately. The antibiotic course in enough to take care of this. You can take proximal tablet 20 mg twice daily on first day and once daily for next 6 days. Do saline gargling. Do not open you jaw too wide. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
