It sounds like you've developed a little infection. You should call the doctor right away.

Yes I remember mine being swollen and my throat sore. My wisdom teeth were inpacked though. I later found out i had dry sockets. That is not fun so! Don't smoke or drink from a straw at all. This is what causes dry sockets. Good Luck!

If I remember correctly mine did. Everything hurt from my jaw down to my throat. Chances are your throat hurts because of the drainage running down it making it raw. It's not unusual for everything to be swollen for quite some time too...I looked like I gained 10 lbs. in my face for a good week.

It may be caused by drainage or the swelling from the procedure.
Try ibuprofen to fight pain and swelling.
If there is drainage, try to hold a cotton ball in your mouth for an hour at a time to keep it from going down your throat.

It is normal to crave two all beef patties with special sauce, pickles, lettuce, and onions on a sesame seed bun.

Yes, it should go away after a few days tho. If not, talk to your dentist
