I have to get 4 teeth removed in a few days - 2 wisdom/2 molars. The dentist gave me Amoxicillan for an infection (3 per day). So far I have taken ten of those, I'm not sure how the infection is coming along, but what I DO know is that I still have IMMENSE pain at times, lasting anywhere from ten minutes to a half hour. Throbbing, at times I almost feel like screaming out loud, and I am a person that can take a good amount of pain. I called the dentist back today and told him about the pain, in which he said that the pain should subside with the clearing up of the infection, and he also prescribed Tylenol 4 with Codeine for me. But still at times the pain is so severe, I cannot lay down to sleep, I must sleep in a chair. The wisdom teeth and molars to be removed are cracked, and have holes in them too - some of the holes feel very deep. I wonder if I could have Dry Socket even though I have not had the teeth removed? I cannot imagine Dry Socket being any more painful than this.
