My wisdom teeth caused a gum infection that required anti-biotics, this is one of the worst pains I experienced, before the surgery there was food trapped under the gum flap, it may have been impossible for me to reach it and get it out, it decayed and caused an infection, so I got that treated, and the wisdom teeth removed.
I hope to make a full recovery, I am finding out not to drink through a straw, remove the gauze after the bleeding stopped, don't eat crunchy or hard foods, stick to soups and mashed potato's, water, and milk. Rest with head elevated, and don't vigorously swish any liquid in the mouth to prevent dry socket. No intense exercise, make sure saliva doesn't pool up in the mouth, and breath through the mouth.
