I had my 2 left wisdom teeth pulled yesterday morning at 10. I kept gauze on till around 6 when bleeding stopped and everything seemed fine till this morning when I got up and not only was I bleeding but chunks of the blood clot came out and one piece was even stuck on the molar in front. I bite on gauze again but now I'm extremely worried about getting dry socket. Is there anything I can do or is it too late already to stop it?
Also I was giving penicillin which I have taken numerous times in my life and never had a reaction however I noticed today my arms and chest were red and warm, I called the pharmacist who said to stop taking it as I could be having a reaction. The dentist is supposed to call in another antibiotic later today for me to start, does anyone know what other antibiotics can be given? Either way I plan on getting a allergy test done to see if I really am all the sudden allergic to the penicillin.
edit: The new antibiotic I was given is Clindamycin. Is it normal to be given antibiotics even if I didn't have an infection before the surgery?
