hi! i got my wisdom teeth taken discover yesterday at 11 am.. it is now nearly 6:30 pm the incoming period and my lip and chin is still numb.. is this normal?? also, my left side of my grappling is swollen. i was presented vicodin, but is vicoprofin meliorate for this? because i module communicate my dr tomorrow.. thank you!

Yes, it is not 'uncommon' to still have some numbness residing substantially into the following period or two. Most people have it dress soured completely in the first 24hours.. but some do not. Also likely, is that a cheek has been simply 'aggravated' (sorry so ambiguous) -- and is causing the sensation on your lip and chin. I would say, if this persists without lessening *at all* into your third period post op,.. talk with the oral surgeon. Odds, are , regardless, there isn't anything that module be finished -- and again despite what has occurred if it is related to a long running facial cheek -- it module correct itself with time. *I truly wouldn't worry most it* -- but do name it. The symptom is dead normal,.. some behave on both sides , some behave rattling very little. It isn't an exact procedure and the utter reacts differently to the pressures and lacerations/bruising/general flutter that occurred. Our tissues behave as a protective and 'healing' autonomic reaction. It is essentially a good thing, the body is providing more murder flow, and fluids.. among other things to support expedite the healing. On the down side, symptom creates a taste of discompose in a huffy area.. so minimizing it helps. This addresses your last question. Vicoprofen would essentially be meliorate for the symptom aspect because it is hydrocodone + ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is much meliorate on swelling. However, the main discompose relieving fixings in both vicodin and vicoprofen are Hydrocodone. (I envisage you were formal the accepted 7.5/750, or 7.5/500) The 7.5mg is the amount of the hydrocodone, the 750 or 500 , respectively, is the amount of acetaminophen... aka: Tylenol. I wouldn't pain disagreeable to get Vicoprofen specifically, it would be dead 'ok' to add some Motrin when you are taking your Vicodin. There would be a cooperative effect, in fact. You might want to verify your Vicodin, and between dosing verify 400mg's of ibuprofen. Something like: Dose - 1, Vicodin T+ 2hours Dose - 400mg's Ibuprofen T+ 2hours Dose - 1, Vicodin rinse, repeat. This is innocuous enough if everything is kept 4-6hours apart. Ask your doc most this regimen as substantially when you intercommunicate to him tomorrow: I am sure he module concur it is innocuous if taken correctly. FYI, the accepted drug formal in dental work for discompose is Hydrocodone + Acetaminophen -- not Hydrocodone + Ibuprofen. *I would think it would be the latter myself, but it isn't* This is mainly cod to the hydrocodone being the main active fixings in both preparations and it being so much more popular. There are few Hydro + Ibuprofen generics/brands compared to Hydro + Apap. In hindsight , the extended 'numbing' might just be serving with the discompose a bit.. gift you a slightly easier instance of things patch your utter heals. You module be just fine, aren't you glad it is over? -- Get alot of rest, don't smoke, or apply any suction to the Atlantic (if using a straw). In a few life instance it module be dramatically better.. and in 2weeks or so you module be every but over it. The discompose should be gone, and in no instance your utter module have healed completely.
